Emergency water service interruptions
The Commonwealth Utilities Corp. would like to inform the public that there will be an emergency water service interruption on April 23, 2021, from 8am to April 24, 2021, at 6am, for customers in the following areas: Upper Navy Hill, Chaim Galaide, China Town, Upper MIHA, and As Falape.

The emergency water service interruption is due to the isolation of a water transmission main for Water Operators to perform an emergency leak repair on an existing 6-inch waterline in Sadog Tasi, which provides water service to the Calhoun water tanks. Water service to the affected areas will resume on Saturday, April 24, 2021, to allow time for the Calhoun water tanks to fill up overnight.
