The utility has confirmed that full production capacity is expected to resume after the successful progress of critical maintenance activities at the water intake facility.NWSC said its technical teams have been working continuously to bring the plant back to normal operations after maintenance works temporarily affected water production levels.

These developments have accelerated efforts to return the facility to full functionality.

The utility added that electrical control systems supporting the new equipment are also nearing completion.The water supplier explained that once the new pumps are installed and tested, production levels will gradually increase, allowing the distribution network to regain stability.
Some customers may begin noticing improved pressure and more reliable water availability as the system adjusts.NWSC noted that it has continued operating the facility at limited capacity during the maintenance period to ensure essential water services remain available while the final technical works are being completed. The corporation said every effort has been made to minimize the impact on customers.The utility apologized for the temporary inconvenience caused by the reduced water supply and thanked residents, businesses and other stakeholders for their patience and cooperation during the restoration exercise.
