She says residents will continue to experience interruptions to their supply until Wednesday morning.

 

"The areas that will be affected are from Riddick Avenue downward to Spencer Road as well as Lower Varsity Drive and connecting roads.  This includes all the roads currently affected.


"I have requested that adequate tankers be dispatched for all areas and that the heads of department engage with me on the reasons for the delay and their actions to get this expedited.''
