BWB tips customers on Sunday water situation

Blantyre Water Board (BWB) has alerted its customers that Walkers Ferry Pumping Station will operate at half load on Sunday, September 20 from 7am to 5pm.

The board said on Thursday that Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (Escom) will be carrying out maintenance works at the station.

In a published statement, BWB said customers in all areas will experience low pressure or no water at all on Sunday.

The board has since encouraged its customers to store enough water as restoration of supply may vary according to residential areas.

“Customers are also requested to close their water taps during this period as supply may be restored earlier than expected after the works are completed,” read part of the published statement.n
