THE Solomon Islands Water Authority (SIWA) has informed its valued customers that water supply from the Kombito source was closed yesterday due to heavy rainfall caused by increased cloud cover over Honiara.
In a statement yesterday, SIWA said the decision was made to prevent risks associated with poor water quality, including silt, mud and algae entering the system, which could clog pipes and result in unsafe water for consumers and affect service delivery.
Areas affected by the closure include Abira, Gilbert Camp, April Valley, Lau Valley School, Lio Creek, Panatina Valley, and Panatina SINU to KG Heights.
SIWA said its technical team is closely monitoring the turbidity levels at the source and will resume supply once conditions improve and water quality meets safety standards.
SIWA appeals to the public for patience and understanding while monitoring continues to ensure the safety of customers.
