Low water levels stop BWA from pumping at Bowmanston & The Mount

Residents and businesses in St John, St Peter, and St George are likely to experience water outages, the Barbados Water Authority has advised.

In a statement, the BWA said it has to stop pumping from two of its facilities due to low water levels – Bowmanston in St. John and the Mount in St. Peter.

The Authority explained: “The situation is a direct result of the continued dry spell the island is experiencing and at present appears to be a daily occurrence, as the aquifer is not being replenished fast enough for pumping to be continuous”

Affected areas are as follows:
