Work on pipeline to result in second day of water disruptions in parts of St Ann

Published:Saturday | March 7, 2020 | 12:00 AM

Residents of Exchange in St Ann, are to expect a disruption in water supply tomorrow, as the National Water Commission installs pressure reducing valves on its main transmission pipes along Cecelia Street in the community. 

This is to result in a second day of disruption for communities in St Ann, as pipeline repairs today resulted in water lock-offs for several communities in the parish.

Tomorrow's work will be carried out from 9:00 am- 6:00 pm tomorrow. Customers are being encouraged to store water for use. 

The utility company says the work will also affect traffic flow, as heavy equipment  will be in use. It is, therefore, also heeding motorists to be cautious and to obey the instructions of flagmen along the thoroughfare or use alternative routes.
