Repair efforts are being carried out urgently, with work proceeding on a war footing to restore normal operations. By 7pm on June 19, 17 of the 20 pumps had been successfully brought back online, allowing for some stabilisation in water supply.
Efforts continue to bring the remaining three pumps into operation to fully restore water supply to the affected areas.
