November 8, 2016: The Water and Sewerage Authority (the Authority) wishes to remind customers in parts of Central and South Trinidad, of the temporary shutdown of the Point Lisas Desalination Plant from 8th to 11th November 2016, in order to facilitate planned maintenance works.
The Desalcott owned and operated desalination plant, provides 40 million gallons daily to WASA, which is used to supply the Point Lisas Industrial Estate, as well as augment the supply to areas in Central and South Trinidad.
In order to mitigate the effects of this shortfall in supply, the Authority has implemented the following:
- Re-distribution of supply from the Caroni and Navet Water Treatment Plants
- Implementation of temporary supply schedules
- Ensure capacity storage at critical service reservoirs
- Increased water trucking capacity
- Special emphasis and arrangements to supply schools, health institutions, homes for aged and other special needs organisations
- Accelerate response to leak repair
Customers are advised that the temporary supply schedules for the period of the disruption are available on WASA’s website: www.wasa.gov.tt and Facebook page: WASA Trinidad & Tobago.
For further information, assistance or to request a truck borne delivery, customers can contact WASA’s Customer Call Centre toll free at 800-4420/26.
