Guam Power Authority and Guam Waterworks Authority are reporting significant restoration of services about a month after category 4 Typhoon Mawar slowly rolled over the island.
According to the GPA June 25 update, 87.8% customers have power and the agency is generating “sufficient” energy for customers.
GPA crews are returning to areas that required extensive repairs; restoring service to customers with completed inspection reports of repaired weatherheads; and replacing of damaged transformers. This is part of Phase 3.
Crews are focused on various areas:
• Dededo, areas at and around Swamp Rd, N Gladiola St, Chalan Famaguon, Kayen Dalalai, Chalan Castro, Santa Ana, Nevermind Rd, Liguan Elementary area, Ysengsong and nearby streets.
• Yigo, areas at and around Rte 1, Chalan Cabesa, Tun Jose Diego, Rte 15, Endo Ct area, Marianas Terrace area, Chalan Jesse Dydasco area, Ricky’s Loop area.
• Tamuning, various areas
• Harmon, various areas
• Mangilao, Onward Golf Course area, Marbo area, along Rte 15
• Barrigada, various areas
• Chalan Pago-Ordot, Kongga Rd
• Piti, Turner Rd
Crews will focus on Central and Southern sectors next week.
GPA officials expect to start Phase IV restoration about 2 weeks after Phase III is substantially completed. Specific issues to be addressed in Phase IV restoration includes streetlight repair/replacement and power quality issues, according to the press release.
GWA officials reported crews restored water to 95.6% of customers. They ask residents for patience as they restore the system to pre-storm conditions.
According to the latest report, currently 101 wells, or 84% of operable wells, are on-line and producing approximately 35 million gallons of water per day. That’s approximately 103% of pre-typhoon production, the report states.
GWA continues to replace pumps and motors in 8% of wells. One GWA crew and one crew made up of GWA, and maintenance contractors. Each changeout takes approximately 12 to 16 hours to complete.
Priorities include: restoring remaining problematic service areas; deepwell operations and pump or motor changes; responding to reported leaks and damaged pipes; and deploying water tankers for pocket outages. mbj
