UPDATE: As of 3.20pm, power has been restored to the water treatment plant. Crisis avoided - thanks for your help everyone.

The water supply in Riverton Aparima is running dangerously low. Reserves are estimated to run out within the next three hours.
Power is off to the water treatment plant and unlikely to be reconnected for another 4-5 hours.
We are talking to our contractors to resolve this asap.
Please conserve water to the maximum of your abilities. We all need to play our part.
🚽Don’t flush.
🛁Don’t bathe.
