And, one more note on the earthquake, BEL today stated that only its Independence Substation was damaged which caused an hour and half long outage. According to BEL, the outage that occurred in Belmopan just after eight this morning was not as a result of any after shocks but the blackout was due to maintenance work being conducted. BECOL further states that following an inspection of the Challilo and Mollejon Hydroelectric facilities the reservoir levels remain normal at both facilities.
