Summer Water Shortage Looming: Phase 2 Project Delayed Until Late 2026

A substantial delay in the Phase 2 drinking water project will prevent any new water supply from this crucial initiative this summer. The project’s completion is now tentatively scheduled for September 2026, a significant postponement from earlier expectations. This extended timeline means that areas intended to benefit from the Phase 2 water expansion will continue to face supply issues. The project is vital for improving water security and meeting the growing demand. However, unforeseen challenges have led to the revised completion date. Authorities are being urged to develop contingency plans to manage water distribution and address the needs of affected populations during the upcoming hot months. The prolonged delay underscores the complexities of large-scale infrastructure development.
