Due to the ongoing installation of pipes at the Ngerikiil Road, the temporary water outage being implemented every Sunday will continue until further notice, the Bureau of Public Works (BPW) announced this week.
Similar to the previous one on May 13, the water outage next Sunday May 20 will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
BPW said that this is to allow contractor Socio Micronesia to install and connect new water pipes between Airai Airport and Ngerikiil Bridge.
This road is the connecting road from the main highway from Koror to Airai to the East Side (Package B) of the Compact Road, which is under construction through grants from the government of Taiwan.
Minister of Resources and Development Fritz Koshiba and Acting BPW Director Techur Rengulbai have asked the public to be prepared and extending appreciation to their patience and cooperation for this matter.
Any questions and more details, the public is advised to contact the BPW at 488-24-80/2438 and the MRD at 767-2701.
Meanwhile, the Ngerikiil to Shimizu segment of the Compact Road on Package B, which was closed for several months due to repairs on one of the bridges and several cracks on the paved road, was temporarily opened starting last Wednesday May 15.
The road will be closed again on May 24..
The temporary one week opening of that section is due to the ongoing repair work of the cross-island road from Kokusai in Ngatpang ro Shimizu in Ngchesar., which is temporarily closed.
