Contributed The St Helena Independent Volume XIV, Issue 31, Friday 5th July 2019 2 Recent rain has not changed the basic water shortage situation Two main messages came out of the weekly water shortage review meeting. First the recent rains have stabilised the reservoir water storage situation. There has been a small increase in water storage but this could so easily be reversed if the rain stops again. The second main message is there has been a noticeable reduction in water usage. Last Tuesday the average daily consumption was 1,100 cubic metres per day. Since then the average has fallen to 927 cubic metres per day. The rainfall together with the reduced water usage has meant the in the last few days of June the amount of water in the reser- voirs has not reduced further and in some cases the reser- voir level has increased. Overall, the amount of water stored in reservoirs has increased by just 2%. The average daily reduction in stored water for the whole of June (water flowing out being more than water flowing in) was 190 cubic metres per day. Without the recent rain the figure would have been higher. Harpers No 3 reservoir – stored water level has increased but no water flowing through the supply pipes when this photo was taken. The amount of stored water is still only enough to last for around thirty days. If rain does not continue to fall as heavy showers or water consumption increases again, we will be in trouble. The hose-pipe ban continues and water is to be used for essential purposes only. Connect St Helena appre- ciate the good response from customers which resulted in the reduction in water usage. The biggest increase in water supply has been from the bore holes. The Harpers reservoirs rely on surface run-off so they will not fill to capacity until the ground is saturated. At present the rain is being absorbed into dry ground several metres deep with the surface remaining mainly dry. Harpers No 3 two weeks ago.
