90,000 customers is a lot more than 90,000 people. If residential area then probably about 180,000 people, if commercial area tan far more people. One business customer could have 1,000 plus employees and clients/customers.

This is what happens when you have millions of illegals overloading infrastructure that citizens in this country built for their progeny, not the third world.

Send the illegals back to their shithole countries where they can built a society of their own and one they deserve and quit free loading off our sweat equity.

One of their windmills burnt out a bearing and the whole string went out. Now they’ve got to check each one until they find the bad one.

Call it "love grease" instead.
