Due to major repair works to be undertaken along its supply pipeline at Canefield, DOWASCO informs customers from Mero to Castle Comfort, including Warner, that their water supply will be interrupted on Sunday July 2, 2023, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Motorists and pedestrians traversing the area during the said period are asked to exercise caution.
DOWASCO regrets any inconveniences which may be caused and thanks its customers for their cooperation and understanding.
Until we move on from direct river catchment to reservoirs, water interruptions will continue every time we have moderate rainfall. In addition to storage, a reservoir serves as its own filtration plant.
Since Roman times, reservoirs have been the preferred method of water catchment and storage. There are over 50,000 large reservoirs throughout the world, and countless smaller ones of a size that could serve Dominica.
