SVG: CWSA delivers water to affected Northern communities

- CWSA continues work to fully restore water to several windward communities
- Mudflows affecting water supply to communities near La Soufriere
- Water truck deliveries to several northern villages
- Mudflows disrupts Perseverance water treatment facility

The Central Water and Sewerage Authority (CWSA) is working to fully restore water delivery to homes in several North Windward communities.

According to the CWSA, the disruptions are caused by high amounts of silt in the water intake at the Perseverance water treatment facility, which serves multiple North Windward settlements.

The CWSA stated in an update on Wednesday that the input to the Perseverance water treatment facility remained closed due to the recurrence of unacceptably high levels of silt in the entering water.

As a result, the water supply to the following localities will be disrupted:.

Dickson

Spring Village

Langley Park

Chapmans

Rabacca

Orange Hill

Tourama

Water truck deliveries will resume in those communities until pipe-borne water service is restored.

CWSA has thanked their customers for their patience and understanding as they continue to monitor the situation and work tirelessly to restore the entire system.
