pipes laying works carried out in the region of Sainte Croix, Cité La Cure, Ruisseau Rose and Long Mountain…
(No. B/32) Mr L. M. Caserne (Third Member for Port Louis North & Montagne Longue) asked the Minister of Energy and Public Utilities whether, in regard to pipes laying works carried out in the region of Sainte Croix, Cité La Cure, Ruisseau Rose and Long Mountain effected last year, he will state the reasons as to why the roads concerned with the laying of pipes have not been resurfaced, indicating when remedial works will be undertaken.
Madam Speaker, I am informed by the Central Water Authority that the road reinstatement works in these regions were delayed due to a shortage of bitumen on the local market between June and September 2024. I am further informed that the Central Water Authority launched another bid exercise in the North in October 2024. The two bids received were evaluated. However, approval was not obtained for the award of the contract due to the last General Elections. I can assure the hon. Member that this project would be looked into as a matter of priority.
