An “unforeseen delay” has pushed back the timeline for the completion of repairs at the El Socorro Booster Station.
According to its last update, WASA expected emergency electrical repairs to the second booster unit to be completed today, with full restoration by 6pm.
Now, it says a “small but critical repair to the Booster #3 Motor” is now required.
The Authority says this final aspect was not identifiable during earlier diagnostic stages, but is essential to ensure the safe and
complete restoration of 100% production capacity.
An external contractor has been engaged to expedite the task, with full service now expected by midday tomorrow.
The El Socorro Booster Station remains operational at 50% capacity, with a number of areas continuing to experience intermittent or low pressure.
