Call to Reduce Water Usage During Emergency Repairs and Upgrades

Essential Information about Emergency Water Supply Disruptions

To ensure public awareness and cooperation, the city has provided crucial information regarding emergency water supply disruptions:

1. The planning process includes careful consideration of the limited time available to minimize disruptions to the water supply.
2. Construction sites for water and sanitation repairs and upgrades are off-limits to the public for safety reasons and seamless operations.
3. Maintenance work may turn out to be more complicated than initially anticipated, which could extend the duration of the repairs.
4. After the water supply resumes, the water may appear discolored. Residents are advised to open an outside tap and collect the water for alternate use.
5. The water may also appear milky due to trapped air in the pipes, and letting it stand in a glass will restore its clear appearance.

Updates and Information

The city’s official Twitter account, @CityofCTAlerts, will provide updates on the ongoing maintenance work and the location of water tankers (if applicable). Residents are encouraged to follow the account for timely information and updates on the situation.

In conclusion, the Water and Sanitation Directorate of the city is calling on residents to reduce water usage during the crucial 48-hour period when emergency repairs and upgrades to the bulk water supply network are taking place. Cooperation from residents will help facilitate the work, minimize disruptions, and ensure a swift return to normalcy.
