Phase 2 Water Project Faces Major Setback, Summer Supply Unlikely

The much-awaited Phase 2 drinking water supply project is facing a significant delay, dashing hopes for a water supply boost this summer. The project is now projected to be completed by September 2026, a timeline that will leave many communities without the anticipated relief. This delay in delivering enhanced water services is a major concern for local residents and officials alike. The project’s goal was to ensure a more consistent and abundant water supply, but construction and logistical issues have pushed its operational start date back considerably. Consequently, emergency measures and interim water management plans will be crucial to address the ongoing supply challenges during the hot weather season. The extended duration of this project raises questions about future infrastructure development timelines.
