As a matter of fact, within the budget we have made provision for that road, and we have in fact done some work on it last year and we will continue to do so; so residents can rest assured that that is an issue that will be looked at,” Rutherford said.Electricity.As it relates to electricity, personnel from both the LECI and LUSCSL pointed out that generally there were not too many complaints by residents.However, Avery Trim of LECI expressed concern that residents are not employing conservation techniques as there has been a spike in electricity consumption over the past three months.Trim said that what was most surprising was that January far surpassed the month of December- a month that? traditionally has the highest rates of consumption.“So we are appealing to people to conserve, not just only conserve, but they should do it systematically. We all need to conserve, because on a monthly basis it (electricity) costs the government in excess of 200 million dollars.”Those sentiments were echoed by personnel from the LUSCSL, who also emphasized the need for conservation.Works Committee Chairman of the Board of Directors of LUSCSL,Jerseys NFL Cheap,?
