Know your Pet Policy

Can’t live without our Fur babies

Most of our properties are pet friendly as long as you follow the conditions and guidelines stated in your lease. The pet fee per pet is $350 and it is a one-time non-refundable fee. It is important for all tenants to adhere to the pet policy to avoid any penalties. Any studio or one bedroom is allowed a maximum of 1 pet. Any 2 bedroom or greater is allowed a maximum of 2 pets. Should any tenant be caught with an unauthorized pet, there is a $500 penalty fee and if you are over your allowed number of pets, than you run the risk of receiving an eviction notice. Please don’t put yourself in one of these situations. We have crews constantly managing the properties and it is inevitable that you would end up being seen with a hidden pet.

Interruption of water supply to Frigate Bay

What a week we’re having. Things usually aren’t this bad but even major cities in the developed world have their issues too I suppose.

Please be advised that your water supply has been interrupted by the St. Kitts Water Department, to facilitate an emergency repair of the main pipe located along the Frigate Bay Road. 


 
We anticipate that this work will take several hours for completion.


 
Your patience and understanding will be greatly appreciated.

We’ve heard that the water will return around 1.30pm today.

We’re currently going through a drought right now. The government has made efforts to avoid an entire collapse of the water system including shutting off the water at night and buying water from some of the desalination plants for the hotels. It helps but what we really need is a steady supply of rainfall, preferably not from hurricanes please.

UPDATE BY THE ST KITTS WATER DEPARTMENT

The Water Services Department is presently executing emergency repairs to a 10” diameter water transmission line in the Frigate Bay area.
There will be an interruption to supply for the time that it will take to complete all repair works.
Work will be done in a brisk manner to have the service returned as soon as possible.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
We do appreciate your usual patience and understanding at this time.

SKELEC – Schedule Outage Notice to Relieve load

Received earlier from the St. Kitts Electric Company. Please take note and ready yourselves for any issues that may arise.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SKELEC, Basseterre
Sunday September 8, 2019
Schedule Outage Notice to Relieve load
On September 7, 2019, during routine maintenance on our largest generating unit at the Needsmust Power Station, engineers discovered damage to the unit that could lead to severe equipment failure. In order to execute repairs and prevent further damage, the unit will have to be placed offline (out of service) for up to fourteen (14) days.
Repair work has already begun and SKELEC has also sought additional assistance from regional and international partners to fast track repairs. Additional generators have also been procured ahead of schedule in light of the recent breakdown. The additional units are expected to be on island and installed within two (2) weeks.
While repairs are being done and the additional units are installed, it may become necessary for us to commence a series of planned outages to mitigate against the loss of generation capacity. The planned outage schedule is attached below and shows the days, times, areas to be affected and the duration of each service interruption. This schedule goes into effect from September 9th.
SKELEC apologizes for any inconveniences that may be caused by these series of outages and we value our consumers’ patience and understanding as we seek to be proactive in this regard. Updates on the progress of the repairs and planned outages will be given as necessary on all forms of social and traditional media. For the most current updates, please check our Facebook (@skelecltd) page and website (www.skelec.kn)
