The National Water and Sewerage Authority (Nawasa), informs the public that the Brandon Hall Dam was deliberately tampered with today Thursday, 14 May 2026, resulting in the complete release and loss of water from the facility.
Nawasa also wishes to reassure the public that this incident did not affect water quality or contaminate the system.
The Brandon Hall system serves consumers in La Digue, Holy Innocence, Union, Battle Hill, Caruth, The Villa, Harford Village, and Cook Hill, all of whom are expected to experience disruptions to their water supply while recovery efforts are underway. Nawasa anticipates that service restoration will begin once the dam is sufficiently replenished and water can be redistributed to the storage tanks. At this time, however, the authority is unable to provide a definitive timeframe for restoration. An update on restoration efforts will be provided later this afternoon.
Nawasa strongly condemns any interference with the authority’s infrastructure and reminds the public that tampering with water facilities is a serious offence under the Nawasa Act, 1990. Such actions compromise the nation’s water security, disrupt service to consumers, and place additional strain on already limited water resources.
The authority wishes to remind perpetrators and members of the public that anyone found interfering with Nawasa’s facilities may be subject to legal action under the provisions of the Nawasa Act.
At this time, Nawasa is working diligently to restore the system and minimise the impact on affected communities. We appeal to consumers for their patience and cooperation as recovery efforts continue.
Members of the public are also encouraged to report any suspicious activity around Nawasa facilities to the relevant authorities immediately.
Nawasa regrets the inconvenience caused and thanks consumers for their understanding during this challenging period.
