The Barbados Water Authority (BWA) has been forced to take two of its facilities offline due to the inclement weather being experienced by the country.

As a result, residents of some parts of St George, St John and St Philip my experience outages or low pressure.

These areas include: Drax Hall, Greens, Bath Land, Carters, Cherry Grove, Cheshire, Cliff Cottage, Coach Hill, Codrington, Colleton, Colleton Gardens, Gall Hill, Glebe, Guinea Land, Haynes Hill, Henley, Lemon Arbor, Macaroni Village, Massiah Street, Moncrieff, Moores Land, Mount Pleasant Gardens, Pool Land, Rosegate, Sargeant Street, Sherbourne, Small Hope, Society Hill, Spooners, Stewart Hill, Todd’s Tenantry, Wakefield Tenantry, Welch Village and surrounding areas.

The Authority will make every effort to assist customers in the affected areas via water tanker as a temporary measure, however there may be delays due to heavy demand. Pumping will resume from the facilities once the turbidity levels reduce.

The BWA apologises for any inconvenience caused.    (PR)
