Streetlights dark in Altamira

The latest heavy rainfalls showed a serious waterproofing problem of our electrical installations.

In Calle la Pena, in the main road and in the pool area the system had to be re-set twice in one evening.
The committee would like to thank Rodney Bignell, doing that.
Obviously it only needs the slightest amount of damp, to take out the RCD.

Prior to that incident, the committee had already taken a decision for a light survey. David Hazell (electronical engineer and committee member) has volunteered to actively assist in analysing the situation.

Caused by the cliff face collapse in Calle Pena we do have there a most critical issue of the temporary lighting.
Generally it seems that the traditional black carriage lights are usually more an issue than the plastic type we have for example in Calle Mayor as the connections are usually exposed at the base.

Our installations are of a certain age and need probably a profound renovation. The announced survey will show what needs to be done.
