NWC LOW TANK LEVELS IMPACT WATER SUPPLY ON FERRY SYSTEM




The National Water Commission is advising its customers that it will be carrying out an emergency shutdown of the Ferry pipeline in order to rebuild storage levels at the ferry tank in St Andrew. This tank system, once at suitable storage levels, will facilitate improved supply to the Washington Boulevard and environs.  Several communities, especially in the Molynes Road area, have been experiencing disruption over the past few days due to the low tank levels and mechanical problems with the pumps at both the White Marl and Molynes facilities.

Based on this work, customers in several areas will experience water supply disruptions between 9pm tonight and 6am on Monday, February 24, 2020. 

Areas include:     Washington Boulevard and roads including sections of Duhaney Park, and Patrick City, Sections of Washington Gardens, Hughenden, Molynes Road, Moreton Park Seaward Drive, Olympic Way, Penwood,  Waterhouse and surrounding areas.

Following the completion of the work, customers may experience a gradual restoration of their regular water as the system recharges.  It is worth noting that the system is still not back to full capacity as work to repair the damaged pumps are still on going.

The NWC apologises to its valued customers for any inconvenience caused and seeks to assure them that every effort will be made to restore regular water supply in the shortest possible time.
