The Dominica Water and Sewerage Corporation (DOWASCO) has reported a significant water supply disruption affecting residents in Grand Bay and adjacent communities, including Pichelin, Maranatha Square, and Tete Morne. The issue stems from a pipeline rupture, which may also impact customers in Soufriere and Scotts Head. DOWASCO has confirmed that repair efforts are underway to restore services promptly. Additionally, areas within Water Area 1, such as Mero to Castle Comfort, Campbell, and Warner, are experiencing low-pressure issues, leading to intermittent service interruptions. Affected neighborhoods include Wall House, Kingshill, Fond Cole, Warner, and Bellevue Rawle. The corporation emphasized that full restoration depends on refilling tanks and rebuilding system pressure, a process expected to be completed within the day. DOWASCO apologized for the inconvenience and urged residents to maintain emergency water reserves. For after-hours or weekend fault reporting, customers are advised to call 255-2999, leave a detailed message, and provide contact information.
