The Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty (WASA) has an­nounced the com­ple­tion of elec­tri­cal re­pairs at the Sev­en Seas Wa­ter (SSW) owned Point Fortin De­sali­na­tion Plant. 

In a state­ment yes­ter­day, it said re­pairs were fi­nalised at 8 pm on Sat­ur­day, May 17, 2025, al­low­ing the plant to re­sume its nor­mal pro­duc­tion ca­pac­i­ty of 5.5 mil­lion gal­lons per day (mgd).

Al­though full pro­duc­tion has been re­stored, WASA ad­vised cus­tomers that it may take be­tween 24 to 48 hours for wa­ter ser­vice to nor­malise in some af­fect­ed ar­eas, as per es­tab­lished sup­ply sched­ules.

The Au­thor­i­ty ex­tend­ed its grat­i­tude to cus­tomers for their pa­tience and un­der­stand­ing.

In March, WASA had ad­vised of a re­duced wa­ter sup­ply due to then emer­gency re­pairs at the De­sali­na­tion Com­pa­ny of Trinidad and To­ba­go (De­sal­cott).

Those re­pairs were be­ing con­duct­ed at the in­take of the fa­cil­i­ty.
