*All times are subject to change based on the volume of water coming into the tank<\/p>\n
Challenges<\/strong> We have now identified secondary wells (151 and 154) to produce water for the area. CUC is working with Parks and Recreation to cut and move a large tree that damaged a well. Once access is gained and repairs to the facility are completed, the FEMA generators will be installed and activated by FEMA contractors.<\/p>\n Garapan: The Puerto Rico reservoir supplies water for the village of Garapan and thus far, filling the reservoir has posed a challenge. The Puerto Rico wells are online; however, they do not produce enough water to fill the tank alone.<\/p>\n We have brought water down from Capital Hill, but the pressure of the water is so great that we must exercise extreme caution to prevent the pressure from damaging our lines. Because of this, we are only able to transfer up to five feet of water to Puerto Rico from Capital Hill per day.<\/p>\n Once a more reliable method of filling the Puerto Rico tank becomes available, CUC will be able to provide the village of Garapan with a consistent supply of water.<\/p>\n Water testing areas<\/strong> Given the challenges to water production and distribution posed by Typhoon Soudelor, it is critical for the community to immediately notify CUC of any water leaks. To report water leaks, contact the CUC Customer Call Center at 664-4CUC (4282).<\/p>\n Water filling stations<\/strong> The water made available at the filling stations is strictly for non-commercial residential use. No water buffaloes will be filled.<\/p>\n The Capital Hill filling station will cease operations beginning Thursday, Aug. 27. As water becomes more readily available throughout the villages, CUC will begin to eliminate filling stations and deploy our staff to assist with other areas of the water system.<\/p>\n Commercial filling station<\/strong> Shelter filling stations<\/strong> As a precaution, all water provided by CUC will need to be sanitized through the use of chlorine bleach or boiling before it can be used by the community.<\/p>\n For more information, visit our website www.cucgov.org or contact CUC\u2019s Customer Call Center at 664-4CUC (664-4282).

\n\u2022 Gualo Rai: CUC has thus far not been able to provide water to the village of Gualo Rai. Despite making repairs to the access road to the wells we initially identified to produce water for the area, we have not found a vehicle capable of carrying the generators to the site because the steep grade and poor conditions.<\/p>\n
\nEngineers and Operations personnel continue testing the following areas: Kannat Tabla (including Fina Sisu, As Terlaje and upper elevations of Chalan Kiya); and Dandan (including As Lito and Afetnas) As engineers and operations personnel receive results, an established schedule for limited water service will be released.<\/p>\n
\nCUC continues to provide up to 100 gallons of water per household per day at filling stations across Saipan. Residential customers may fill their containers in As Teo, Capital Hill, Kannat Tabla, and Navy Hill. Each site is open daily from 12pm to 7pm.<\/p>\n
\nCUC has opened a commercial filling station in Chalan Kiya. Commercial customers are permitted to purchase up to 3,000 gallons per day at a rate of $.72 per 1,000 gallons. To avail of this service, commercial customers must first make a payment at our Dandan Customer Service Center and make an appointment to fill their respective tanks.<\/p>\n
\nCUC has identified two locations for the Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services to escort tanker trucks that will provide water for the emergency shelters. These services are available by appointment only and are for the sole purpose of supplying water to the shelters.<\/p>\n
