RIO - The State Procon assessed the dealership Wide by power outage that hit several towns of the state of Rio on 30 and 31 December. In some places, the light took four hours to be restored. For some consumers of Duque de Caxias, however, the situation was even worse: they went dark for four days, until January 2.
In addition to Duque de Caxias, power outages reached Niterói, São Gonçalo, Magé, Araruama and towns in the mountainous region. The lack of light reached harm to the water supply, since many people use electric pumps to draw water from artesian wells.
According to the Federal Law 8.987 / 1995 laying down detailed rules for the granting of public services, adequate service must meet the conditions of regularity, continuity, efficiency and safety, among others.
Ampla has 15 business days from receipt of the notification, to present his defense. If the deadline is not met or the arguments are not accepted by the legal department of the State Procon, the concessionaire will be fined.
Ampla reports that, as soon as notified by the State Procon, will present defense on time.
