I eat lunch in Maimon occasionally; it has a lot of nice seafood restaurants; most are clean, have decent service, & are not expensive. I ate at 1 [nameless] restaurant recently. The owner, a Dominican American, & I discussed [what else?] crime & electricity.
He informed me that neither he nor anyonce else in Maimon had ever paid an electic bill! EVER! Why? Because neither he nor anyone in Maimon had ever received an electric bill. EVER!!
Maimon is "served" exceptionally well evidently by Edenorte. There are the regular, frequent, long lasting black outs. I estimate that 3,000 - 4,000 people live in Maimon; there is a huge hotel; 15 - 20 restaruants. My friend said the electric company - Edenorte - was "getting around to sending bills" one day.
Can this be true? Why? What business would literally give away its services, including electricity, for years, decades? Without ever requesting payment.?
Do any other towns receive universal free electricity? For decades?
Knowledgeable responses, esp. from Edenorte, welcomed.
Maybe the onwer was pulling my leg? He seemed honest & sincere. But, . . . he is a Dominican; I am a Gringo?
