WASA Water Supply Schedule

[shake d livin wake d dead]

yuh need rainwater collection

Anyone getting issues with water recently?
Wasa saying because of the low water supply schedules will be changed etc.

No water by me 4 days now...they say some pump burn and dont know when they would fix ...tanks running low

Looking into doctoring a system

[pugboy]

better to get a separate tank like a 600 to collect off gutter and wire strainer for leaves
you would be surprised how easy it is to collect 400 from an afternoon shower

hook it up to
use it for toilets emergencies etc

So true. I cannot tell the last time I had decent water pressure in my pipes from WASA.

Water came last night from 12 midnight and was gone by 10am. Did all the washing etc and let the tanks full. This was after 9 days with no water.

[Dave]

Wow 9 days. Feel it for you guys.

Today is day 6

Allyuh the reservoirs empty!!!!
Talk about gross mismanagement of our water supply by this insanely corrupt entity!

Citizens can expect their daily water supply to be reduced significantly soon as the Water and Sewage Authority, in response to record low levels at its reservoirs across the country, plans to ration its supply nationwide.

This was the word from WASA CEO Alan Poon King as he toured the Arena Reservoir in San Rafael to update the media on the issues the authority was facing due to the lower than normal rainfall levels so far this year.

“In cases where customers may be accustomed to 24/7 supply, that may be down to five days a week and five to three and so on. We amend as required,” Poon King said.

According to Poon King, all four reservoirs across the country have been operating at a deficit amounting to 25 million gallons a day. He said WASA depends on the Trinidad and Tobago Metrological Service for rainfall projections but in the last 16 days its forecasts had not come to pass.

“For the month of July we have been producing around 215 million gallons a day and whereas ideally, we want to be between 240 or 243 gallons a day,” Poon King said.

At the Arena Reservoir, which supports the Caroni Water Treatment Plant and stores 10 billion gallons, Poon King admitted that capacity was the lowest he had ever seen it. He said the last time it was that low ten years ago and the last time it was at capacity was in 2018.



The CEO said WASA is currently owed $800 million in arrears by customers, adding this is an area they will also have to work on.

“We do need to collect rates to provide the service we need to,” Poon King said.

Current Reservoir Levels:

Reservoir*Current % capacity*LTA % capacity

Hollis* 15.98%*54.81%

Caroni Arena*20.33%*58.58%

Navet*26.17%*57.23%

Hillsborough*40.09%*53.55%

[jhonnieblue]

How much more they want to reduce is by? I already on once a week if so much

[Les Bain]

So how TF it possible for Pugboy rainwater collection idea, yet WASA can't see their way?
Is almost as if agencies rely on the word of god to provide solutions.

[death365]

man go have to do like "long time" and bathe in the rain .... bathe and soap too

[pugboy]

give wasa a chance they will want to charge you for bathing in the rain.

i saw a nice gutter filter using diagonal strainer.

[pugboy]

[shake d livin wake d dead]

How you beating the saharra dust issue???^

[rspann]

The UNC operatives in Wasa have to stop cutting off water to make the govt look bad

You saw this locally? Looking to do something similar

[pugboy]

saw it online

see the pic above
should not be hard to make
important thing is the strainer is slanted so leaves don’t collect

I've converted the drain lines of all my AC units to fill containers. Everyday I get 4 gallons of clear pure water from those units. I still boil it if used for cooking water but just pour it into the toilet tank and flush.

Rain water is used to fill a 400g tank which is used to spray down yard and wash down cars and tools etc.

Bathing water comes strictly from our main tank. When soaping up, we turn pipes off. Pipes back on to rinse off.

For brushing teeth, I use a 500ml container of water and that is to gargle and rinse out the sink.

Sad, but water conservation techniques have to be applied more rigidly in this day and age.

[pugboy]

That is good work, check if your toilets can be adjusted to reduce the amount they use per flush too

soon all houses may need to use rainwater backup connection to flush toilets the way wasa reservoirs going

Nice, I'm not so strict but to add, unused dog drinking water goes to wet plants, taps off for brushing teeth except to rinse after. Leaks are religiously repaired.

We touched on this before somewhere:

The average family of four uses about 1500 gallons per month/18,000 gallons per year.

The average total rainfall in Trinidad is about 67 inches per year.

The rain that falls on the roof of a small garage (20 ft x 20 ft) is 16,700 gallons per year.

Rain water collection, a gallon of bleach for chlorination, and sufficient storage, is all that is required to reduce or eliminate a water shortage for nearly any residence on the island.

^exactly, a huge dent in relief can be made fairly easily

govt should be encouraging folks to go this way and offer incentives

Wasa saying because of the low water supply schedules will be changed etc.

No water by me 4 days now...they say some pump burn and dont know when they would fix ...tanks running low

You supposed to have a spring somewhere given where you live.

You can add a potable water system easily. Most people only drink water from the kitchen sink (if it's not bottled):

Add a PEX or PVC line to your kitchen sink and icemaker. Fill a separate reserve tank and pressure system with pipe-borne water. You can use a small pump or gravity.

Use your existing system for for every other outlet.

I drink water from any pipe by me...Fyi water on my side is probably the best tasting(due to where our water comes from). Caroni and by extension central is the worse. Im considering a rain water mechanism....but how to deal with that sahara dust???

[rebound]

The dust would settle in the tanks over time and filters for the outlet....it would mean a more frequent tank cleaning schedule tho..
