Penal/Debe residents told:Brace for more water woes

[JoKeR1980]

Tempers flared at the Penal/Debe Regional Corporation yesterday as officials of the Water and Sewage Authority advised residents to brace for more water woes in 2010. The warning came from South regional manager of WASA Collin Nym as he addressed councillors, residents and staff during a water-crisis meeting at the corporation. Nym said the outlook was bleak for 2010, because lower rainfall had exacerbated production constraints at the Caroni water treatment plant and the desalination plant in Point Lisas. He said most of the water distributed in south Trinidad came from the Caroni plant. “Production at this facility has been reduced as the season did not provide what we expected,â€

Remind me againg where the Navet Dam is?

The Navet Dam is one of the major reservoirs supplying potable water in Trinidad and Tobago. The dam was completed in 1962 and expanded in 1966 and 1976. It supplies San Fernando, Debe, Penal, Princes Town, Rio Claro, South Oropouche, La Brea Moruga, New Grant, Plaisance Park, La Romaine and Fyzabad.

The Navet Dam covers an area of 3.24 km² (800 acres) and has a capacity of 18,200,000 cubic metres (4,000 million imperial gallons). It supplies 86.4 m³ per day.

This is exactly why we need property taxes, to ensure the local corp. actually have money to fix these minor issues. Big Gov't just too big and bloated. they can't even deal with these small issues.

Exactly what you expect when you don't get payed properly and there is no formal infrastructure to ensure checks and balances.

Give them more money, more responsibility. better training and maybe ppl will start taking some pride in their jobs and realize this thing ain't no joke.

Hmmm, there was even an official apology to the people of laventille by WASA at the order of the Ministry.Will property tax pay apart in this?I doubt much people in laventille pay or will pay any property tax in the future under the means test.

Property tax is essential in running a country's local infrastructure, but discrimination is not.

Them people better don't block the roads in protest like Barracpore the other day, is army in dey waist. Army and police no better to stop the "peaceful" blocking off the Lady Young Road and Beetham Highway. They know to only call in Inspector Singh to negotiate....down south is buss head and lock up.

[eliteauto]

dreadman, convince your constituents to vote PNM, it's necessary for the growth of the Empire

the UNC cannot fight what they don't understand, they would have to introduce puncheon, suppligen, ginseng etc to fight the PNM but the PNM is like Malta...Naturally Good
