A major failure on a critical water main left 30 percent of New Providence residents with low water pressure or without water at all for more than a day, the Water and Sewerage Corporation (WSC) advised yesterday. According to a statement from WSC, the failure was detected on Monday evening on a water main located on Nassau Street just south of West Bay Street.

"This water main serves over 30 percent of the island and the failure has resulted in low pressure or total loss of service to several areas of New Providence north of Wulff Road from Goodman's Bay in the west to Village Road in the east." WSC Deputy General Manager Robert Deal said the problem was expected to be fixed in the "shortest possible time".

WSC apologized for the inconvenience caused.
