Water interruption on Tinian on March 17<\/strong><\/p>\n

There will be a scheduled water service interruption on the entire island of Tinian on Saturday, March 17, from 8am to 5pm. <\/p>\n

The purpose of the interruption is to complete the installations of two 8-inch gate valves in the Commonwealth Utilities Corp.’s main distribution water line and to make the necessary system upgrade at the Maui II Pump Station. <\/p>\n

As a result of the installations and system upgrade, CUC will be able to supply extra volume of water to the island of Tinian. <\/p>\n

Power interruption on March 17 and 18<\/strong><\/p>\n

There will be a scheduled power interruption on Saturday, March 17, and Sunday March 18, from 6am to 11am, on Saipan. <\/p>\n

The purpose of the power interruption is to de-energize primary lines and allow the Commonwealth Utilities Corp. line crew to safely replace eight 45-foot wooden poles with eight concrete poles along Chalan Pale Arnold Road on Lower Navy Hill. The pole replacement task is a sub-project of the CUC Hazard Mitigation Project aimed at strengthening and hardening the power grid through the replacement of 787 wooden poles with concrete ones. <\/p>\n

Since the start of the project in September 2015, 345 of 787 wooden poles have been replaced. <\/p>\n

No water wells or wastewater lifts station will be affected.<\/p>\n

Travelers commuting northbound and southbound on Chalan Pale Arnold Road in the area of Lower Navy Hill are asked to exercise caution when traveling through the working areas. <\/p>\n
