Barbados Water Authority (BWA) crews continue emergency repair work tonight, to replace pumps affected by a power outage at its Applewhaites Pumping Station. Thus far, one pump has successfully been replaced and is working once again. Work is currently underway on the second.
Once both of these pumps are back in operation, the BWA will regain fifty per cent of the production from this facility. This will allow more water to be put back into the distribution network which will in turn reduce the number of districts experiencing water outages or low pressure.
While residents in some districts may continue to be affected overnight, the BWA remains committed to assisting the remaining affected areas via water tanker while the emergency repair work continues.
The Barbados Water Authority sincerely apologises for the inconvenience these outages have caused its valued customers. (PR)
