Barbados Water Authority (BWA) crews have completed emergency repairs on three out of four pumps impacted by a power outage at the Applewhaites Pumping Station.

These have all been successfully reinstalled and are working. Repair work on the fourth pump is ongoing.

With these three pumps back in operation, the BWA is now pumping more water into the distribution network. Consequently, the water supply to a number of districts in St James, St Thomas and St Joseph that experienced outages or low pressure over the past two days, should gradually return to normal as the pressure increases.

As is usually the case, the BWA remains committed to assisting any customers still affected by outages via water tanker until their supply returns to normal. (PR)
