Well, in the quest for utilities on Vila Verde we have come up against a typical chicken and egg scenario.
As you know we were informed by Electra that the electricity was resolved. We launched some fireworks but, thankfully, had the foresight to announce "Almost There"!
Anyway, we went to the Electra office with a client's paperwork (Well, we sent Carlos to Electra's office) and were told we could not sign up for anything!
Hmm, back to square one?
It seems that Electra do not want to sign utility contracts just for power, they want to do the two together so we can't have power until we have water!
But that leads us to good news. The water installation was signed off long before the electrical one and Electra have informed us that they expect for the water to be connected this week (Week commencing December 7th).
If this is the case then we can send our expedition back to the offices next week and see if we can sign up the apartment in question.
We'll keep you posted!
