The Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty says re­pair works on the Siparia Wa­ter Treat­ment Plant, to cor­rect a down­hole is­sue im­pact­ing Siparia Well #14, have slowed down, as re­cent ad­verse weath­er and the poor con­di­tion of the ac­cess road, have made it dif­fi­cult for heavy equip­ment to per­form the main­te­nance works.

As a re­sult, cus­tomers served by the Plant who cur­rent­ly are ex­pe­ri­enc­ing a dis­rup­tion in their wa­ter sup­ply due to re­duced pro­duc­tion there, will have to wait a bit longer for re­lief.

“The Au­thor­i­ty thanks all those af­fect­ed for their pa­tience and un­der­stand­ing,” WASA says in an ad­vi­so­ry.

WASA as­sures that re­pair works will ac­cel­er­ate as con­di­tions im­prove, with com­ple­tion pro­ject­ed to 8:00 pm on Tues­day 8 No­vem­ber 2022.

Cus­tomers are re­mind­ed that up­on restora­tion of pro­duc­tion, it may take up to 24 hours for the pipe-borne wa­ter sup­ply to be re­stored in some ar­eas.

The af­fect­ed ar­eas in­clude:

Quinam Road, Sen­non Vil­lage, Rail­way Road, Mary, George & Vic­to­ria, Up­per De Gannes, Low­er Coo­ra Road, Coo­ra Her­nan­dez Road, Coo­ra Ex­ten­sion, Mendez, Saney Trace, Kay Trace, Prana Home De­vel­op­ment, High Street, in­clu­sive of all side streets.
