Water Problems Palaces

Certain  areas of Palaces are suffering problems with their water supply. I have had a number of complaints.
We have been in contact with Galasa daily since last Friday to see what they are doing to resolve the situation but all I can tell you is that they are working on it.
Initially it was because the pressure was not set correctly when they installed new valves but it seem it is a much bigger problem.
We will continue to push them to restore the correct pressure. 

Water Interruption

There is to be an interruption to the water supply today from 1100 until 1300 due to the ,making of new connections to improve the supply.

The area affected will include the cemetery area and  Barriada Palaces Sorry for any inconvenience and the late notification
