In a statement issued by GWL’s Northern Regional office, the company attributed the situation to the failure of key equipment, particularly water pumps, which has significantly impacted production capacity.

The supply disruption will take effect from Friday, March 28, 2025, at 2:00pm , with full restoration expected by Thursday, April 4, 2025.

Management from the Northern Regional Office of GWL have however assured the public that engineers and technicians are working diligently to resolve the issue within the stipulated timeframe.

In the interim, residents have been urged to store and conserve water to mitigate the impact of the shortage.
