Big Oaks RV Resort

date – Tuesday, 11:30 a.m.

Due to unexpected mechanical issues experienced by the power company, the work scheduled for the Resort Office was not completed this morning as originally anticipated.

Crews are currently working in the Key West area of the resort. If your power was interrupted earlier this morning, it should now have been restored. If you are in Key West and still had power throughout the morning, your power is either currently off or will be going off shortly as crews replace the next utility pole and wiring.

The power company plans to begin work on the Resort Office area tomorrow at 5:00 a.m. The good news is that this work should have minimal impact on sites throughout the resort, with only a possible interruption in portions of the Bahamas area. Power to the Resort Office is expected to be restored by approximately 10:00 a.m.

Tomorrow, crews will also continue working toward the end of the Key West section and into the back areas of the resort. The outage required for this work typically lasts about four hours. If you were not affected today in Key West, St. Kitts and Aruba, tomorrow will likely be your turn.

As always, the Windjammer and Resort Office will remain available for residents who need a cool place to work, relax, or enjoy the air conditioning. We have a generator to supply power to the Windjammer during the power outages in the St. Kitts and Aruba Section.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as this important infrastructure project continues. We will keep everyone updated to the best of our ability as new information becomes available.

Just a reminder the power to the Resort will be shut down Monday morning by 8:00a.m. (weather permitting) to replace electrical lines throughout the Resort

We've been told this should not affect the Resort Office Building and we are trusting this information from the power company to be factual.

Michelle Smith has volunteered to have the Resort Office Building open by 8:00a.m. for those working from home or those who just need a cool place to relax while the power is shut down.

Resort Restrooms and Laundry will be shut down during this time: asking nobody to use any water from our well while the power is down to avoid us having to drain the tank and go into a boil-water situation.

Again, please use no water from our well even if you are equipped with a generator during the power outage.

Those with RV Water tanks should fill their water tanks to pull water from during the power outage.

We are counting on your cooperation, hoping the power will be restored by 1:00p.m.

Thanks!
