Water schedule for Central, South West

WASA in a release yesterday stated the disruption is due to ongoing emergency repairs to a broken 48-inch pipeline at the Desalcott- owned and operated Point Lisas Desalination Plant. Production at the plant has been reduced from 40 to 10 million gallons per day, while the repair works are being carried out, WASA reported.

The affected areas include: Caroni, Felicity, Charlieville, Cunupia, Chaguanas, Chase Village, Carapichaima, Endeavour, Montrose, Point Lisas, Couva, Claxton Bay, Vistabella, Marabella, Gasparillo, San Fernando, Gulf View, Duncan Village, Pleasantville, Union Hall, La Romaine, Palmiste, Phillipine, Woodland, South Oropouche, Rousillac, Boodoosingh, Avocat, Fyzabad, parts of Siparia, De Gannes Village, Debe and parts of Penal.

WASA stated that in order to manage the deficit it has amended its temporary water supply schedules.

WASA also reported it will redistribute water from the Navet Water Treatment Plant and Point Fortin Desalination Plant, in order to minimize the impact of the disruption.

“Customers are further advised to manage their water use efficiently, as it may take 12 to 24 hours for the supply to normalize to some affected areas, after the plant returns to full operation.”
