10 years ago, we were told that the underground mains in PoS were supposed to be replaced in the mid 60's... and they weren't.

As far as the leaks you see on the roadside, remember that water doesn't flow up. A WASA official had told us that as the water escapes the pipe, it saturates the ground around it - only if it can't go down then it goes surfacewards. He said that a safe estimate is the leaks you see is one sevenths of the total amount of subsurface leaks - and that's a safe estimate.

More than enough rain falls in the Northern Range alone to supply Trinidad's needs - but we abuse our entrapment processes. When reservoirs' waters become turbid, the pumps must be turned off to protect them. Reservoir turbidity is caused by rivers polluted by loose soil particles, which in turn is a direct result of human activity, such as quarrying, deforestation and bushfires. Bear in mind that we don't need to disturb the entire forest to cause this, we just have to affect upstream of the reservoirs. Quarrying especially is a problem, as they use water to "wash" material. This water then flows off in large amounts. It's supposed to go into settling ponds, but... you can guess where it goes.
Silting up of reservoirs is also a problem, and removing the silt to give the reservoir a larger capacity is expensive.

The bottom line is that it's cheaper/easier/more visible to harass customers into conserving water, than it is to protect the forest, stop illegal quarrying processes, stop bushfires, repair/replace mains, desilt old reservoirs and construct new ones.

normally 20%, so $15.
the bribery fine will possibly be more than the fine itself.

[lostboys crew]

Hey u know last time i went in the area behind the gas station in Piarco i think is Oropune they does call it, where the farmers have their gardens and estates.
A farmer had a stand pipe just open running water like that. when i asked him why he does leave that running for, he said " cause the water pressure so high, all meh pipe lines does buss. " and that was after i locked off the tap and caused he lines to burst......hehehehe

So that pipe is be running all day, all night, 24 hrs, all year...................

But them really have real water and pressure in dem pipes yes...the most i have seen anywhere....dem aint need no pump..

No water for 10,000

Truckers delayed at filling station

Camille Bethel cbethel@trinidadexpress.com


Tuesday, February 9th 2010


Several thirsty South villages went without a truckborne supply of water yesterday, because of a delay in opening the taps at a WASA filling station.

Truckers contracted to take water to the villages also complained of low water pressure, delaying the time it took to fill the tanks.

Dozens of trucks lined up at the water filling station in Debe from as early as 4 a.m. yesterday, but some received no water all day.

The truck drivers are contracted by the Penal/Debe Regional Corporation and WASA to supply water to 35 regions between Erin and Barrackpore.

Driver Bobby Chatoorie said, ’We want the valves to be opened earlier and for the water pressure to be enough to fill up in a reasonable time to make our quota.’

Trucker Pirtia Ramnarinesingh added, ’We have been here since early this morning but none of us got to full up because there was no water. But we have been told by the corporation that they met with WASA and they have agreed to divert some of the trucks to the San Fernando and Barrackpore hydrants.’

He said there was no guarantee this would work given the critical shortage of water across the country.

Corporation councillor Premchand Sookoo said some 10,000 people were affected by yesterday’s water issue. He said the truck drivers withheld their services because it took 45 minutes to fill the tanks.

WASA’s corporate communications manager, Ellen Lewis, said the authority met with Sookoo and the corporation’s CEO Lauman Espinosa yesterday.

She said, ’It was agreed that we would install a 20,000-gallon tank with a pump at the site to improve the operation of the hydrant (and) a second tank of similar capacity will be considered thereafter.’

She said the corporation will also establish a shift arrangement to include nighttime operations’.

’WASA will accommodate the relocation of eight trucks to other filling hydrants to reduce the demand on the Debe Filling Hydrants,’ Lewis added.
