Telecommunications provider Flow has completed restoration of its services in the communities north of the Rabacca Dry River following the eruption of the La Soufrière Volcano on April 9th.
Flow’s network infrastructure north of the Rabacca Dry River suffered extensive damage but after weeks of grueling work, Flow is reporting all services including broadband, landline, television, and mobile are now fully functional.
Flow stated in a release that restoration work began on August 3rd after the all-clear to travel beyond Georgetown was issued and the company replaced more than 1,400 meters of cable and critical network components in just over a month.
According to Flow’s Country Manager Wayne Hull said all customers from Orange Hill to Fancy have had their bills zero-rated since April 9th and this facility will be extended through to the end of September.
Hull said he empathized with the heavily impacted communities closest to the La Soufriere volcano, especially those who were further affected by Lahar flows and flooding which followed the eruptions,. Going on to say that Flow would like to see these communities return to the vibrancy they have always possessed.
