A ruptured water line that caused extensive water damage has forced the closure of the Elections and Boundaries Commission's Registration Area Office in San Juan.
The office located at 125 Eastern Main Road Barataria (Corner of Seventh Avenue), closed its doors to members of the public on Tuesday until further advised.
According to information reaching Guardian Media, unexpected water damage caused by a ruptured water line resulted in flooding of the office and damage to its ceiling.
The office will remain closed while the required preparations are made to guarantee the safety of both EBC staff and the public.
The EBC has apologised for any inconvenience caused by the temporary closure, which is necessary for public health and safety.
Additionally, the EBC's Registration Area Office for Princes Town, located at 145 High Street, Princes Town (Corner Naparima Mayaro Road & St. Croix Rd.) remains closed after fire damage as necessary works, testing and checks are still ongoing and should be completed soon.
The EBC will provide updates on the repair progress and reopening dates of the two offices.
