The Commonwealth Utilities Corp. shut off water storage tanks at 7pm tonight to reduce water pressure. This will lead to water services going offline by about 9pm.
This is being done to prevent damage to the tank systems and to ensure immediate islandwide restoration after the typhoon.
Normal water services will resume after full assessments are made after the storm.
As for power, CUC assured that it will maintain power for as long as possible.
If heavy weather conditions cause feeder interruptions, the CUC power plant may not be able to restore power due to safety and hazard concerns.
CUC line crews will only be dispatched once conditions are safe to repair any damage.
