Electro-mechanical problems disrupts NWC Spring Village well

Regular water supply from the facility has been disrupted since Sunday evening due to “electro-mechanical problems” the utility company stated in an advisory last evening.

Areas impacted are Spring Village, Nightingale Grove Housing Scheme, Nightingale Grove Farms (Five Acres), Grove Farms, Gutters, Island Farm, Lloyd’s Pen, Bushy Park and High House.

“The company is estimating full operation on or before 5:00 pm Tuesday, March 24, 2020,” the NWC said.

Meantime, the company said a similar electro-mechanical issue at the New Town Pump Station in Clarendon has disrupted normal supply there.

As a result the communities of New Town Housing Scheme Phase 1 & 2, Monymusk Housing Scheme and Raymonds are presently without the precious commodity.

The NWC is also projecting normal water service to return by five o’clock this evening.

The company apologizes for the inconvenience the disruption might have caused.
