update date November 2010 In the late 1980s, public utilities in Chad were extremely limited. The Chadian Water and Electricity Company Soci t Tchadienne d Eau et d Electricit STEE , was the major public utility company. The government held 82 percent of the shares and CCCE held 18 percent. STEE provided water and electricity to the four main urban areas, N Djamena , Moundou , Sarh , and Ab ch . The company supplied water, but not electricity, to six other towns. Despite old equipment and high maintenance costs, STEE was able to meet about half of peak demand, which increased significantly from 1983 to 1986. Production of electricity rose by 35 percent from 1983 to 1986, and the supply of water increased by 24 percent during the same period. In 1986 STEE produced 62.1 million kilowatt hours of electricity and supplied 10.8 million cubic meters of water. In N Djamena the majority of households had access to water. There were, however, only about 3,000 officially connected customers, a good proportion of which were collective customers. There were also an estimated 1,500 illegal water connections. The rest of the people received water from standpipe s. Some 5,000 customers were officially connected for electricity in the capital in 1986, with an unknown number of illegal connections. Because electricity was so expensive and because electrical appliance s were beyond the means of most people, the consumption of power per household was low. The high cost of electricity also hindered the expansion of small and medium sized enterprises.

unreferenced date August 2009 Utilities is a 1981 movie starring Robert Hays and Brooke Adams actress Brooke Adams . One of Bob Hunt s Hays neighbours electricity is cut off because she cannot pay the bill. She is assisted by contributions, and the bill is paid entirely in pennies, though the clerk is belatedly told that payment is not accepted in such a large quantity of coins. Unfortunately, the electric company fails to reconnect the power due to a communications snafu, and the elderly woman is taken to hospital suffering hypothermia . Hunt sets off on a vendetta of revenge, sabotaging assorted support systems. Attempting to evade detection at one site, he flattens himself against the wall with wet paint, with a finger sticking up, and leaving the impression of a hand with one raised finger in the paint. The news media find out this detail and the unknown saboteur is nicknamed the finger . When the phone company is hit, the phone company issues a public statement denying that, due to the sabotage to their billing records, that long distance calls can be made without a charge. Promptly, the movie depicts people making outrageous use of long distance, which in 1981 was still quite expensive. One girl calls overseas and plays a musical composition over the phone.
