Following the passage of Hurricane Beryl, a Water and Sewerage Company (WASCO) Inc. statement revealed that initial inspections will focus on critical infrastructure, including raw water intakes, treatment facilities and pipelines.
WASCO’s technical have been mobilised to assess the full extent of damage across the island. Upon completion, the water supply will be restored in a phased approach.
Customers may experience temporary disruption or variation in water pressure as assessments and repairs are conducted. Residents at higher elevations and at the end of the network will experience a delay in the restoration of their supply.
“We encourage the public to contact WASCO’s Command Centre for reporting of faults associated with the passage of the recent weather system,” the statement reads in part.
It continues, “We urge residents to continue to follow advisories and restrictions previously issued until further notice. Updates will be provided regularly through our platforms and media outlets. Continue to stay safe, Saint Lucia.”
