Iglecias said CUC is able to maintain its water service because of the continued cooperation of customers.
“Every ounce of conservation adds toward continuous service,” he added.
They have noticed some fluctuations in water production but CUC is still able to meet the demand of its customers, he added.
He said customers have been conserving water and there’s more calls now from the community regarding water leaks and tank overflow.
“We’ve been responding to customer’s complaints and it’s good for us because we able to continue the service despite the dry season we are in right now,” he said.
In February, the U.S. Climate Prediction Center reported that Pacific islands, including the CNMI, had entered a critical phase of El Nino.
“We need to continue this conservation because we want to continue giving the customers the service that they need,” he said.
Water leak and power interruption are the main causes of unscheduled water interruption, he added.
CUC, however, was able to minimize water leaks by replacing defective valves in specific areas where problem occurred or by making repairs.
Iglecias is urging customers to continue conserving water and to report water leaks and tank overflow.
