According to municipal spokesperson Adrian Amod, although some high-lying areas are still experiencing low water pressure, water should be fully restored across the city.
“It should, however, be noted that water supply may still be affected by airlocks in the pipelines subsequent to the system being empty for several days. Water supply can also be disrupted due to pipe bursts because of fluctuating water pressure.”
