The Kongulai water source remains temporarily shut down as Solomon Water continues to monitor high turbidity levels caused by heavy rainfall.

Solomon Water said the decision to suspend supply was made to protect public health, as turbidity levels had exceeded acceptable limits, making the water unsafe for consumption.

In a statement, the state-owned utility explained that supplying water under such conditions would have posed serious health risks to customers.

“The Kongulai source supplies the majority of our water, so when we are forced to shut it down due to high turbidity, it significantly affects our ability to provide a continuous water supply to all customers,” Solomon Water said.

Solomon Water acknowledged the inconvenience caused by the shutdown and thanked customers for their patience and understanding during the disruption.

Solomon Water reiterated its commitment to providing safe and reliable water services and said it will restore supply once water quality returns to acceptable standards.

Residents affected by the shutdown have been advised to remain patient as monitoring continues.
