Areas with no water included portions of Dandan, Koblerville, Navy Hill, Lower Capital Hill, Sadog Tasi and San Jose, acting CUC water and wastewater deputy director Robert Lorenz said.
In San Vicente, he said there was no water because of the ongoing road widening project.
CUC had to “abandon” the old water pipeline and install a PVC pipe, he said.
He said some residents in San Vicente were able to get water after they were connected to the new pipeline.
CUC expects to restore the regular water supply in all areas of San Vicente today.
Since Monday, CUC’s water clients had been inquiring and complaining about the irregular water supply.
In San Vicente, residents had no water for over a week now.
Eric Borja from Koblerville said he already complained to CUC but there was no explanation about the loss of their water supply.
“When we failed to pay our bill they immediately imposed disconnection. If we complain nobody listens to us,” he told Variety.
Yesterday, Lorenz said CUC was still trying to repair the burned out water pumps.
The pumps, he added, had corroded rapidly due to the salinity of the water, and this caused the water motor to burn out.
CUC can restore the broken water pumps within a week’s time, he said.
He expressed his apology to water customers for the inconvenience.
