The cost to repair the damaged electrical system at Grand Cayman's Field of Dreams complex has been estimated at $32,000 by the contractor performing the work.

Electrical power was lost for a few days at the George Town ball field after a 29 January car accident.

Royal Cayman Islands Police reported that a vehicle careened into an electrical meter and circuit box following a two car collision just before 8pm that evening.

Electrician Robert Duty of Electrical Enterprises 2000 Ltd. said wires that run from the circuit box to the main electrical room at the ball field had to be replaced due to the wreck.

"Its 300 feet of wire and those wires are damaged to the point where they are unsatisfactory to building control requirements," Mr. Duty said. "The biggest cost of the thing is purchasing the wires."

The non-profit organisation that runs the ball field had to cancel adult softball games scheduled in the early part of last week because the field's night lights weren't working.

A huge generator was brought in to operate the lights throughout the rest of last week so games could continue. According to Cayman Islands Little League officials, the generator costs $500 a day to operate.

League President Jim Parham said last week that he didn't have a full estimate on the cost of repairs from the accident, but it was anticipated that the responsible driver's insurance company would foot the bill.

Police did not state what led to the wreck and had not made any arrests in connection with the incident. One person in the car that struck the circuit box suffered minor injuries and was treated at hospital.
