Minister Burch On Summer Water Supply
“The island is currently in a dry spell” and residents should be “conscious of their water usage this summer,” Minister of Public Works Lt/Col David Burch said in the House of Assembly today [July 2].
“The Bermuda Weather Service indicates that rainfall in Bermuda for the last couple of months is below usual levels,” the Minister said. “Simply put, the island is currently in a dry spell.
“The Government water system provides piped water to approximately 2,000 households, businesses, the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, the Mid Atlantic Wellness Institute and is also the safety net for two thirds of Bermuda’s households, being the principal supplier of trucked water on the island. During dry spells or drought times, some 40,000 Bermuda residents will rely on water trucks to meet their water needs.
