Cartago Faces Power Outages on July 7 Due to ICE and Jasec Service Suspensions

Residents in Cartago can expect power outages on Tuesday, July 7, as both the Costa Rican Institute of Electricity (ICE) and the Cartago Aqueducts and Sewers (Jasec) will suspend electrical service in various sectors. The planned interruptions are necessary for maintenance work aimed at improving the reliability of the power grid.

The specific communities and neighborhoods affected by the service suspension have been identified, along with the precise timings for each outage. Authorities are urging residents to prepare for the disruptions by taking necessary precautions, such as unplugging sensitive electronics and ensuring essential devices are fully charged.

This coordinated maintenance effort by ICE and Jasec highlights ongoing infrastructure work to ensure consistent and safe energy delivery. While inconvenient, the temporary suspension of service is a crucial step in preventing larger, unexpected failures and maintaining the integrity of Cartago's electrical system.
