Multi-village power and water service outages
Commonwealth Utilities Corp. customers in two of Saipan’s southern villages will experience a temporary service interruption as part of an ongoing federally funded waterline improvement project.
On Monday, Dec. 7, CUC will temporarily interrupt water service to customers along Isa Drive and Dandan Road between Chalan Tun Herman Pan and Sailing Drive at 10am to allow CUC’s contractor, RNV Construction, to install a new lateral line for customers in the area.
CUC will limit the area affected by the six-hour outage to customers along Isa Drive between Chalan Tun Herman Pan (Airport Road) and the San Vicente intersection and along Dandan Road to Sailing Drive (just north of Dandan Middle School).
This project is in preparation for the waterline upgrade in the area that will improve system pressure and create a more reliable water system as part of the San Vicente Service Area Extension Project, funded by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
On Friday, Dec. 4, CUC will conduct a temporary power service interruption along Feeder 7. At 1pm, CUC line crews will temporarily interrupt power service to Achugao, San Roque, As Matuis, and Marpi to replace three deteriorated power poles and hardware.
As a result of the temporary power service interruption, water service will be affected for CUC customers in Saipan’s northern villages from Marpi to Tanapag. Work on the repairs is expected to take up to four hours to complete, at which time power will be restored to the area. For more information, contact the CUC Customer Call Center (664-4282). (CUC)
