Update on Nevis Water Situation
Today Personnel of the Nevis Water Department (NWD) were successful in Installing a New Pump at the BEAD Maddens Height Pumping Station. The Pump Installed is the Replacement Pump Provided By BEAD and is currently Pumping at a Rate of 300 Imperial Gallons Per Minute. This is double the output of the temporary pump that had been working for the Last 3 months. Please note that some areas may be experiencing outages at this time, as this well would have been out of service the entire day. The situation however should normalize over the next week as it will take some time for reservoirs to fill. I want to thank the General Public for your patience, support and understanding. The Government is sensitive to the needs of our people and have left no stone unturned in trying to restore steady supply.
Big thanks to the guys who came out at 6 am today and worked until almost 8 pm to complete the job. I am very proud of the way you worked today.
Hon. Troy Liburd
