Limited water available today
The Commonwealth Utilities Corp. has made arrangements for the community to obtain water from four reservoirs as an immediate but limited solution to Saipan’s water outage as we continue to restore essential services that were rendered inoperable by Typhoon Soudelor.
Today, Aug. 6, CUC will open four filling stations that will provide up to 100 gallons of water per household per day. The location of each of the sites will be made available through our media partners in the community in the morning, at which time CUC will detail each site’s operating hours.
CUC representatives will be at each site; however, customers will be required to fill their bottles and storage tanks on their own.
The water made available at the filling stations is strictly for non-commercial residential use. No water buffaloes will be filled. The water will also need to be sanitized before it can be used by the community through the use of chlorine bleach or boiling.
Two of the four locations will be open until the supply in each of the reservoirs is depleted. The remaining locations will remain open until the pumping system is operational or until CUC achieves a more stable solution to Saipan’s water needs.
