A vehicle accident in Bolans has disrupted electricity service and affected operations at the Ffryes Reverse Osmosis facility, prompting a temporary road closure as repair crews work to restore services.

The Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) said Friday, Nov. 13, that a section of the main road between the Bolans football field and the clinic remains blocked while crews carry out repairs.

The accident disrupted the electricity supply, subsequently affecting operations at the reverse osmosis facility, which produces potable water.

Traffic is being diverted around the affected section of roadway, and motorists have been warned to expect delays.

APUA urged drivers to exercise caution and use alternative routes where possible.

The authority apologized for the inconvenience and thanked residents and motorists for their patience and understanding.

APUA did not provide an estimated time for the completion of repairs or the full restoration of affected services.

The circumstances surrounding the accident and whether anyone was injured were not disclosed.
