Media Release: Temporary shutdown of Hill Twenty Treatment Plant




by WASCO
BABONNEAU RESIDENTS WILL BE AFFECTED BY A TWO-DAY INTERRUPTION IN THE WATER SUPPLY, STARTING MAY 28.

The Water and Sewerage Company (WASCO) Inc. informs customers in Babonneau, Upper Monier, Morne Citron, Desrameaux, Ti Dauphin, Ravine Macok, Malgretoute and La Borne, that there will be a two-day interruption in the water supply, starting Monday, May 28.

The interruption is necessary in order to undertake the final phase of the Water Improvement Project which commenced in 2017. This includes the installation of a new ten-inch pumping line from the Hill Twenty Treatment Plant to the La Croix water tank, that will provide residents with an improved and more reliable supply of water once completed.

WASCO therefore urges residents in Babonneau to store as much water as possible ahead of the planned outage. In addition, WASCO will employ all available options including trucking water to residents at higher elevations and those who are routinely more adversely affected by prolonged interruptions.

The works on the Hill Twenty Treatment Plant are expected to be completed on Tuesday, May 29. However, Wasco advises that customers at higher elevations may receive a delayed supply immediately after the completion of the works.
