The Commonwealth Utilities Corp. announces the final pipeline connection of the Kannat Tabla reservoir from the Isley Booster I pump station. The CUC through its contractor, AIC Marianas, is scheduled to make the necessary pipe connection from the pumping station to allow water flow into the new Kannat Tabla reservoir and bring the system a step closer to its completion.
The USEPA funded over $3 million for the Kannat Tabla reservoir and waterline project and its main goal is to pressurize the water system, improve water quantity, and quality to the Kannat Tabla, Finasisu, Chalan Kiya and Chalan Laulau areas.
