Acting Commonwealth Utilities Corp. executive director John Riegel says they will be announcing today extended water service hours in the island\u2019s villages.<\/p>\n
Riegel said once the hours are figured out they will be announced.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are expanding our water hours. We have water in all villages,\u201d with some spots in outlying areas without water, Riegel said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were hunting for those [spots] today and will continue tomorrow,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
CUC has 145 wells. Only 56\u2014or a third of them\u2014were running as of last Friday.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been working with CUC on energizing water pumps, installing generators strategically across island.<\/p>\n
Meantime, CUC continues to work on the island feeders and are awaiting the arrival of more power poles and materials.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are continuing to run the feeders out,\u201d Riegel said.<\/p>\n
The number of feeders energized remains the same as last week. These are Feeders 1, 3, and 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
