Flood­ed riv­er con­di­tions and clogged band screens and trash racks at the raw wa­ter in­take of the Ca­roni Wa­ter Treat­ment Plant are the main rea­sons why cus­tomers served by the fa­cil­i­ty have been ex­pe­ri­enc­ing low pres­sures or no wa­ter sup­ply.

Ac­cord­ing to an ad­vi­so­ry from the Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty, this sit­u­a­tion has re­sult­ed in re­duced pro­duc­tion at the Plant, from the nor­mal 75 mil­lion gal­lons per day (mgd) to 60 mgd.

“The Au­thor­i­ty is cur­rent­ly car­ry­ing out emer­gency works to clean the screens and trash racks at the raw wa­ter in­take, which is ex­pect­ed to be com­plet­ed by 4:00 p.m. to­day—Mon­day 5th Sep­tem­ber 2022,” WASA’s ad­vi­so­ry as­sures.
