RESIDENTS across large parts of New Providence suffered a loss of water supply and low pressure on Thursday morning after a major failure of the water transmission main on Robertha Avenue, the Water and Sewerage Corporation (WSC) has announced.
Corporation teams are "urgently addressing" the failure in Ridgeland Park West and will provide a timeline for full system restoration, a statement from WSC said. Residents of northern, central, southern and eastern New Providence were affected.
The WSC statement read: "The Water and Sewerage Corporation wishes to notify our valued customers and the general public that we experienced a major failure on our water transmission main on Robertha Avenue (Ridgeland Park West) this morning that has resulted in low pressure and/or no water to parts of Northern, Central, Southern and Eastern New Providence.

I'm just flabbergasted that in 2016 (-15), our major systems are operating with single points of failure....it's incredible. This country is literally falling apart. Cabinet ministers and MPs should be working around the clock to determine the main issues facing the country and to hash out long term strategies. The country's foundation is crumbling and they want a new parliament building?
