YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Several residents of a local RV park say they’re being left in the dark.
Residents at Westwind RV and Golf Resort say they haven’t had power sometimes for days, and that this has been an ongoing issue for years.
This means they can’t use their air conditioning and other items that use electricity.
They say this has even led to heat illnesses.
They’re concerned these outages will keep happening, especially with high summer temps right around the corner.
We spoke to one resident there who wanted us to identify her as “Nana” for fear of retaliation.
“That is unacceptable because it puts us, the residents in danger as you can see I’m very sensitive and every time the power goes out. It can be for three days it can be for four days,” explained Nana.
Nana says that management has told her they don’t want to spend the money needed to fix the issues.
We’ve been reaching out trying to get a comment from the management at Westwind RV for weeks now, but they have not commented.
We’ll update this story as soon as we receive more information.
