BWS says water supply for San Pedro is fully restored
The issues of low water pressure and shortages plaguing San Pedranos for the past weeks have reportedly ended after Belize Water Services (BWS) stated on Monday, March 28th, that supplies have been fully restored. BWS had been scheduling interruptions and low water pressure because of a mechanical malfunction in their plant on the island. The problem was resolved with the faulty plant gear repaired, and since then, the service has been returned to normal.

BWS says low water pressure and interruptions will be resolved before Easter
The situation with low water pressure and interruptions affecting San Pedro Town may soon end. As per Belize Water Services (BWS), the issue will be resolved before the Easter holidays next month. The water company said via an official note on Thursday, March 17th, that a major mechanical malfunction due to a damaged gearbox had disabled one of their drive trains at the water treatment plant on the island. Although the gearbox is repaired, the mechanical malfunction caused a dent in the water reserves; thus, for several more days, islanders can expect low water pressure and late-night interruptions to maintain minimum storage levels and allow supplies during peak hours.
