GEBE commercial manager Steve Duzanson said that Airfin had some difficulties at the production plant causing the water shortage throughout Wednesday. Some schools ended school early on Wednesday due to the water shortage. The GEBE manager said the effects of the water shortage did not come directly from the utility company. SMN News learnt that the water tank in Cay Hill went down rather quickly causing air to enter the water lines. SMN News also understands that whenever Airfin gets backs its production capacity to normal it will take GEBE maintenance men at least four hours to get the excess air out of the lines. Up to late Wednesday afternoon several areas in Philipsburg were still out of water.
