Final Update - BWA Crews Complete Repair Work in Fairview, Christ Church

The Barbados Water Authority team wishes to advise the public that it has completed repairs to the 16-inch main in the area of Fairview, Christ Church.

Work began on Monday, February 17 around 4:30 p.m. and concluded around 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 18.

One of the major challenges the BWA had to overcome with the break, was its location, as it was discovered in a waterlogged basin of a wooded area.

Having successfully completed the repairs, the Authority will now put water back into the distribution network via this main and monitor the situation closely.

Customers are asked to note that it may take some time for water levels to return to normal as the system recharges.

Customers are also reminded that it is only during this period that the BWA’s team will be able to confirm that the issues impacting the water supply have fully been addressed.

The Barbados Water Authority thanks the public most sincerely for its patience and support.

Elsewhere, an area of low pressure located about 100 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms. This system is gradually becoming better organized, and environmental conditions appear conducive for additional development during the next several days. A tropical depression is likely to form by the middle of the week while the system moves generally northwestward across the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean Heavy rainfall is possible over portions of the southern Cabo Verde Islands during the next day or two, and interests on those islands should monitor the progress of this system.

There's a broad area of low pressure is located over the south-central Gulf of Mexico. This disturbance continues to produce widespread disorganized showers and a few thunderstorms. Some gradual development of this system is possible during the next few days while it moves slowly westward across the southern and southwestern Gulf of Mexico toward the coast of Mexico.

And, a trough of low pressure is located several hundred miles south-southeast of Bermuda. Although the associated shower and thunderstorm activity is showing some signs of organization, the system does not currently have a closed surface circulation.

...TROPICAL STORM WATCH ISSUED FOR PUERTO RICO...
...TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN THE WINDWARD ISLANDS LATER TONIGHT WITH HURRICANE CONDITIONS POSSIBLE ON TUESDAY...

A Hurricane Watch continues for St. Lucia. A Tropical Storm Warning continues for Barbados, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for Dominica, Grenada and its dependencies, Saba and St. Eustatius, and Puerto Rico.

Tropical Storm Dorian is centered as of 5 p.m. AST/EDT about 60 miles (95 km) southeast of Barbados, moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h). On the forecast track, the center is expected to move near the Windward Islands this evening and tonight and move into the eastern Caribbean Sea on Tuesday. Dorian is forecast to pass near or south of Puerto Rico on Wednesday and approach eastern Hispaniola Wednesday night.

Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Satellite-derived surface wind data indicate that Dorian remains a compact tropical cyclone. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center. Some strengthening during the next few days is forecast, and Dorian could be near hurricane strength when it passes through the northern Windward Islands on Tuesday, and it is expected to be a hurricane when it moves near Puerto Rico and eastern Hispaniola.

Dorian is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 3 to 8 inches in the Windward Islands from Martinique south to St. Vincent, including Barbados. Isolated maximum totals of 10 inches are possible across the northern Windward Islands. Rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches are expected from the Grenadines, south to Grenada and across Dominica. Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches with maximum totals of 6 inches are possible across Puerto Rico and St. Croix.
