CUL DE SAC--Monday’s water outage in a few Cul de Sac areas was scheduled to start at 9:00am, but lasted longer than expected because the “water technicians encountered a number of issues.” The scheduled outage had been announced on GEBE’s social media page on Sunday afternoon, but still caught many off-guard.
Sunday’s online media post informed customers that water would be off in the St. John’s, St. Peters and Betty’s Estate areas from 9:00am to 12:00pm, advising customers to prepare. Regular updates were posted during the day, notifying customers of some setbacks, as well as when select areas were reconnected.
“Crews began working on the pumps at 9:00am and were supposed to have the issues resolved during the midday hour. Unfortunately, these are types of emergencies the crews have to attend to. When this happens, the crew works around the clock to make sure that water is restored in a timely manner,” GEBE explained that evening.
Customers still having problems should call emergency number 1-8444-323213 to report any issues.
