Rains over the weekend have caused severe damage to the eastern side of the island mainly in the Castle Bruce and Petite Soufriere areas cutting off the communities from the rest of the island and without electricity.
Public relations officer for the Dominica Electricity Services Limited (DOMLEC) Adina Valentine says DOMLEC has engaged contractors and is working with the ministry of public works to ensure swift restoration of electricity in affected areas.
She says despite limited access DOMLEC has begun work on the section between Mahaut river to Castle Bruce.
