The Water and Sewerage Company Inc. (WASCO) says it has encountered unforeseen issues which have forced a revision of the timelines on the Northern Pipeline Upgrade project.
WASCO in a press release explained that ‘following the commencement of excavation works in August, the project encountered unanticipated infrastructural challenges that required immediate attention’.
The WASCO team, together with the consultant and the contractor, is now working assiduously to address the identified issues, implement measures to prevent further interruptions, and safeguard the project’s integrity as it progresses.
WASCO reassures the public that once work resumes, every effort will be made to minimize delays and inconvenience.
WASCO is replacing the aging 14-inch cast-iron pipeline with a modern 20-inch ductile-iron main in its efforts to secure a more dependable water supply for residents and businesses in the north.
The Northern Pipeline Upgrade Project is being implemented between the Bonne Terre and Gros-Islet Town Gaps.
