The New Mamoon Water System Commissioned

Between 1995 and 2003 the housing stock in Green Hill, Lodge Village and Upper Largo Heights continued to increase, including the second phase of the low income housing project. This increase once again put added strain on the water supply system and residents in the higher areas were once again subjected to chronic water shortages on weekends and peak demand periods.

In 2007, the CWSA again sought to address the water shortage situation. This time it was decided to revert back to the Mamoon River since stream gauging data showed that the river had the required capacity for this expansion. A project was then designed and developed and made ready for implementation by late 2007.

The New Mamoon Storage Tank

Making the Final Connection

The CWSA recently achieved yet another milestone in its quest to consistently improve and expand its water supply systems.

On friday August 6th, 2010 the CWSA commissioned its new Mamoon water supply system. This new system comprises a new intake at an elevation of 1200 ft above sea level a storage tank and approximately 4200 ft of transmission pipeline. It was built primarily to alleviate chronic water shortage problems experienced by some residents in the upper Largo-Height and Green-Hill areas.

The old Mamoon water supply system, built in 1937, primarily served Capital Kingstown, however, after the implementation of Majorca and Dalaway systems, the old Mamoon system was later restricted to supplying the higher elevation areas of Northern Kingstown, including Bowood, Largo Heights, Lodge Village and Green Hill.

In the early 1990�s, several new houses were however constructed in the higher areas of Green Hill and Largo Heights, placing increased demands on the old Mamoon system both in terms of the quantity of water available and the elevation of the intake in relation to the elevation of the developments.

In 1994, in order to satisfy this rapidly increasing demand, the CWSA tapped into the Majorca system and constructed a 50,000 gallon storage tank at Fenton and installed a few hundred feet of transmission pipeline before officially abandoning the old Mamoon system in 1995.
