Last update: 7 hours agoWater Restoration Reality Check: CUC crews say they’re still finding previously unknown pipes, private-property service lines, and fresh leaks as Saipan pushes toward full 24-hour service—about 90% is back now, but the last miles depend on leak repairs and stabilizing production in low-pressure areas.

Federal Policy Watch: The U.S. DOL moved to restore the 2019 overtime salary thresholds after courts vacated the Biden-era rule, signaling another shift employers will need to plan for. Tourism Pressure Point: Residents warn that any move to end Chinese visa-free travel could hit CNMI tourism hard, just as recovery and reopening efforts continue.
