The electricity problems are terrible and definitely getting worse. They will continue to get worse with all the houses already in the process of being built and the hundreds more which are planned. Unfortunately the Belediye will never get the builders to pay towards getting the electricity transformers installed but they will continue to grant building permissions. After all the builders or the belediye don't give a damn as long as they all get their money. The same problem applies to the water here in Uzumlu which is now at a critical stage. We go for up to a week at a time sometimes with no water at all.
We found the electric ok this time in Uzumlu, they did a lot of work in 2006 by putting in new transformers and building a new sub station.
Mind you if you go into the Uzumlu Belediye with the same attitude you are writing on here, maybe that is why they don't give a dam, we have always found them very helpful when we go in and pay our water bill or whatever, even to the point of them ringing our builder and getting him to come into the office to sort out the water payment he still owned from building our property so we could get the bill all cleared, had a good laugh with them as well as a cup of tea about it all.
The thing to remember is that the builders, belediye and locals all know each other, be polite and you can get help in most things, but remember they are not god and cannot work Miracles,just calm down and you will live longer.
