Electricity: Danger in sight

The intense heat caused by climatic phenomena has also been responsible for damage of property and life caused by several accidents, including fires, which are common this time of year. One of the biggest probleFmas is overloading the power grid, mostly for lack of supervision and guidance and leading citizens themselves to unnecessary mistakes, as the accumulation of appliances into one outlet.

But there are other causes that also need to be evaluated and are beyond the control of consumers and businesses is the responsibility of service providers who use nets suspended on poles, whether electricity, telephone, cable TV and others. On February 5, for example, Benedict Street Figueiredo, between Felipe Shrimp and Ramiro Barcelos, a short wire was burning hot, scorching and melting its protective cover under the pavement. And in the end Well you can observe that many posts are in critical condition, a real tangle of wires, twisted and thrown over our heads.

Community Participation

Meet the city's problems is to be in connection with those who deal with day-to-day communities. And the information above is an example. She was transferred along with the photo published in the column, the president of the Association of Friends of Good End neighborhood, the counter Randazzo Charles Alexander, who recently assumed command of the entity concerned at the situation and have requested the referral of measures with competent organs. He told me also that last year on the same street, another major incident had occurred with the fall of a short wire on the sidewalk near the corner of Ramiro Barcelos. Thus, from the demand of the community, we are sending the Request for Arrangements State Electricity Company (CEEE), responsible for network use and cedênciar suspended, so that, occasionally, to check the situation in Benedict Street Figueiredo. Likewise, indicate the need for a comprehensive evaluation is planned network across the city, since the problem can and should be reproducing in other regions.

Pruning

The preventive pruning trees can also reduce the problems of the power grid down and prevent damage to the population by falling branches, very common in periods of severe weather storms, how we live today. You can check in some streets of the neighborhood, that this work is being performed. It is the result of another Request for Measures referred by our agency at the request of the community and has received the attention of bodies, a fact that we publicly thank. But we are careful to check the extent of pruning and the risks that some trees may still offer citizens.
