CUC eyes restoration of 24-hour water on Saipan

Part of the Commonwealth Utilities Corp.’s rebuilding efforts is to go back to the goal of providing 24-hour water supply throughout Saipan—a project that was strongly in progress until Super Typhoon Yutu hit the island and neighboring Tinian in late October.

CUC executive director Gary Camacho said that 24-hour water has been a big a challenge for CUC for many years.

“We were able to achieve it for the first time in September but the storm has impacted that. So, the plan is to get us back to 24-hour water throughout the island soon enough as that is the focus and I think we will be able to achieve that without a problem.”

“Water mitigation is a priority, along with geothermal, as we will be looking into that again. We are proceeding with understanding our geothermal prospect even more,” he added.
