Continued water and wastewater services assured by Guernsey Water

As an operator of critical island infrastructure, Guernsey Water has confirmed it is well prepared for events such as the current Coronavirus pandemic. 

With both pandemic and business continuity plans in place, the utility wanted to assure customers of the continued supply of water to island homes and businesses, as well as the safe removal of wastewater. 

Steve Langlois, Guernsey Water's General Manager said: "We are working closely with Guernsey's Public Health Services and will continue to follow their guidance. As part of the current response, we have an incident management team in place. This team determines how we best manage resources and operations as the situation develops. 

"It is also vitally important that islanders follow the advice given by the Director of Public Health, in terms of good hygiene and what to do if you are concerned you have come into contact with someone who could have Coronavirus. Please check www.gov.gg/coronavirus regularly for updates."
