(Commonwealth Utilities Corporation) — There will be a series of scheduled water service interruptions in San Roque, Achugao and Tanapag on Jan. 21, 28 and Feb. 4, 2023, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Customers in the affected areas may experience low water pressure to no water during the interruption period.
The emergency water service interruption is to allow CUC’s contractor for the Lower Base to San Roque cut and cap of parallel line project to cut and cap the parallel lines connected to the six-inch pipes and to relocate the PVC pipes and install six-inch gate valves along Chalan Pale Arnold Road in Lower Base and San Roque.
In addition, CUC water operators will repair a damaged 12-inch mainline leak on Chalan Pale fronting Aqua Resort Club in San Roque. Customers should expect normal water services soon thereafter.
For the safety of the men and women at the jobsite, proceed with caution and/or take alternative routes during the period of the waterline repairs as a portion of the road will be closed during the Jan. 21 repair on Chalan Pale in front of Aqua Resort.
CUC appreciates the public’s understanding and cooperation during this emergency water service interruption.
