North Distribution

Last updated on: January 07th, 2025

On July 15, 2024, RPUC began deploying Plant and Equipment Operators to familiarize themselves with the operation of the northern distribution system under the guidance and support of Water Unit officers. This initiative facilitated a seamless transition and an effective handover between RPUC and the Water Unit. On September 13, 2024, the Executive Council approved RPUC's takeover of water production and distribution for the Northern Water Unit Section, effective September 18, 2024. However, RPUC officially commenced operations on September 20, 2024. As of October 25, 2024, RPUC has assigned a total of 23 employees to the northern region, including 1 Trainee Engineer, 1 Supervisor, and 21 Plant and Equipment Operators. The chart below illustrates the distribution of employees across various sections.

Creve Coeur Reservoir Water Balance

The Creve Coeur Reservoir has a capacity of 1,000 m3 and receives water from the Pointe Venus Desalination Plant and the Fond la Digue borehole. While the primary function of this reservoir is to distribute water, it also transfers water to the Terre Rouge Reservoir. Additionally, water tankers from RPUC and RodClean collect water from the reservoir for their respective operations. The table provides a summary of the total water received, transferred, and collected by water tankers between November 26 and December 25, 2024.

The table below shows the Creve Coeur water balance:

Water In Water Out
Desalination Borehole Transferred Water Tankers
Volume/m3 18777 4398 10113 1241
Average per day/m3 470 110 253 31
Total/m3 23175 11354


Creve Coeur Reservoir Distribution Frequency

This reservoir supplies water in Fond la Digue, Port-Mathurin, Creve Coeur and Anse aux Anglais. The chart below shows the frequency of distribution for each of the above villages.

The average distribution frequency in Port-Mathurin and Fond la Digue is stabilized around 24 days, while in Anse aux Anglais is still 8 days. With the increase in production from English Bay desalination, the frequency can be decreased to around 22 days as well as maintaining the frequency in adjacent villages such as terre rouge and Jean Tac.

Hauteur Accacia Reservoir Distribution Frequency

This reservoir provides water to Camp du Roi, Fond Camp du Roi, Pointe Monier, and parts of Port-Mathurin. The chart below illustrates the distribution frequency for each of these areas.
