Res­i­dents in parts of South and Cen­tral Trinidad will have to fur­ther man­age their wa­ter used as the Point Lisas De­sali­na­tion Plant will shut down for main­te­nance from Mon­day.

In a me­dia con­fer­ence at De­sal­cott's of­fice in Point Lisas this af­ter­noon, act­ing Gen­er­al Man­ag­er Ra­jesh Ra­goo­nanan an­nounced that the main­te­nance will run un­til No­vem­ber 17.

WASA's act­ing CEO Kelvin Ro­main said pro­duc­tion will be ramped up at the Ca­roni Wa­ter Treat­ment Plant and Navet Wa­ter Treat­ment Plant to sup­ple­ment the short­fall in sup­ply.

WASA will pub­lish a re­vised sup­ply sched­ule on all its me­dia to­mor­row.

De­sal­cott sup­plies WASA with 40 mil­lion gal­lons of wa­ter per day.

WASA said it has mea­sures in place to pro­vide schools, hos­pi­tals and cer­tain gov­ern­ment in­sti­tu­tions with a truck-borne wa­ter sup­ply if need­ed.
