Water interruption on Tinian on March 17
There will be a scheduled water service interruption on the entire island of Tinian on Saturday, March 17, from 8am to 5pm.
The purpose of the interruption is to complete the installations of two 8-inch gate valves in the Commonwealth Utilities Corp.’s main distribution water line and to make the necessary system upgrade at the Maui II Pump Station.
As a result of the installations and system upgrade, CUC will be able to supply extra volume of water to the island of Tinian.

Power interruption on March 17 and 18
There will be a scheduled power interruption on Saturday, March 17, and Sunday March 18, from 6am to 11am, on Saipan.
The purpose of the power interruption is to de-energize primary lines and allow the Commonwealth Utilities Corp. line crew to safely replace eight 45-foot wooden poles with eight concrete poles along Chalan Pale Arnold Road on Lower Navy Hill. The pole replacement task is a sub-project of the CUC Hazard Mitigation Project aimed at strengthening and hardening the power grid through the replacement of 787 wooden poles with concrete ones.
Since the start of the project in September 2015, 345 of 787 wooden poles have been replaced.
No water wells or wastewater lifts station will be affected.
Travelers commuting northbound and southbound on Chalan Pale Arnold Road in the area of Lower Navy Hill are asked to exercise caution when traveling through the working areas.
