Heavy rains force shutdown of water treatment plants. Citizens are being asked to manage their water supplies as heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours has led to the shutdown of a number of water treatments plants across North Trinidad.

The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) said persistent rains have led to various issues at these facilities including turbid river conditions, clogged intake screens and power failure.

The affected facilities include the Caroni Water Treatment Plant where production has been reduced from 75 million gallons daily (mgd) to 55 mgd, while operation was stopped at the Tompire, Matura, Hollis, Aripo, Quare, Guanapo, Caura, Luengo & Naranjo and Acono WTPs.

Areas affected include those supplied by the Caroni WTP - Santa Cruz, Belmont, Morvant, Cascade, St. James, Cocorite, Kelly, Caroni, Chaguanas, Longdenville, Couva, Carapichaima, Claxton Bay, Gasparillo, Marabella, Pleasantville, San Fernando, La Romaine, South Oropuche, Siparia, Debe, Penal and La Brea and those supplied by other facilities including Toco, Salybia, Valencia, parts of Arima, El Dorado, Tacarigua, Maracas - St. Joseph, among others.

WASA said the affected facilities are expected to return to service when conditions normalise at these locations.

Customers are advised to manage their water use efficiently, as it may take up to 24 hours thereafter for their scheduled pipe borne water supply to normalise.

WASA has assured that the water currently being supplied through its distribution system complies with the Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality of the World Health Organisation and is safe for use.

For further information or assistance, customers are asked to contact WASA’s Customer Call Centre toll free at 800-4420/26.

Leptospirosis is easy to catch but also an easy pathogen to avoid with basic hygiene procedures and basic soap will kill it
No fancy chemicals required.

All should educate themselves
