The Ministry of Public Works and Environment advises residents and stakeholders in St. George's of a temporary disruption to the Government-provided flushing water supply. The interruption is required to facilitate essential water and wastewater infrastructure upgrades and is scheduled to commence on Thursday, 13 August 2026, with service expected to be restored by Friday, 14 August 2026. The work is necessary to reduce the risk of a significant system failure that could result in an extended loss of service.
Based on available information, properties in the following areas may be affected by the scheduled interruption:
- Red Coat Lane
- Old Military Road
- Barracks Close
- Slippery Hill
- St. George's Bus Depot
- East End Primary School
- Sunrise and Barrack Condominiums
- Other adjacent lanes and areas
The Ministry recognises that some residences and buildings may be connected to the flushing water system but cannot be individually identified at this time. Any property that experiences a loss of service during the interruption is asked to contact the Water and Sewage Section at water@gov.bm or 278-0570 and provide the property address, building type and a contact number.
The Ministry will provide updates if there are any changes to the scheduled works and thanks residents and stakeholders in the St. George's and Southside areas for their understanding and cooperation as these essential infrastructure improvements are carried out. Residents with questions or concerns are encouraged to contact the Water and Sewage Section using the details above.
