MORE than 30 per cent of New Providence was affected by low water pressure or no water yesterday due to a leaking pipe that was discovered by the Water and Sewerage Corporation on Monday night, officials said.
According to a statement from the WSC, the “major failure” was detected on a critical water main located on Nassau Street just south of West Bay Street.
WSC said this water main serves over 30 per cent of the island and the failure resulted in low pressure or total loss of service to several areas of New Providence north of Wulff Road from Goodman’s Bay in the west to Village Road in the
east.
This includes but is not limited to the following areas: Palmdale, Bain and Grants Town, Big Pond, Fort Fincastle, portions of Shirley Street, Potter’s Cay Dock, St Alban’s Drive and Highland Terrace, the statement said. WSC said crews were working diligently to repair the leak to restore water service to normal in the shortest possible time.
WSC apologised for the inconvenience caused.
