Residents can expect continued water shortages this summer as the Phase 2 drinking water supply project is unlikely to be completed on schedule. Initial projections indicated a timely completion, but current assessments suggest the project may not be finished until September 2026. This significant delay will impact communities relying on the new infrastructure for a stable water source. The project, aimed at augmenting water availability and ensuring reliable access, faces considerable hurdles that have pushed back its operational date. This means local authorities will need to explore interim solutions to mitigate the water supply challenges faced by the public during the peak demand season. The extended timeline raises concerns about water management strategies and the potential strain on existing resources.
