The Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty (WASA) is ad­vis­ing cus­tomers that the Point Lisas De­sali­na­tion Plant was restart­ed around 5:00 p.m. on Sat­ur­day 16 No­vem­ber, one day ahead of the orig­i­nal­ly sched­uled com­ple­tion time.

Res­i­dents in parts of South and Cen­tral Trinidad were im­pact­ed by the shut­down which was orig­i­nal­ly sched­uled to run be­tween No­vem­ber 11-17.

In a re­lease, WASA stat­ed that pro­duc­tion at the fa­cil­i­ty is cur­rent­ly be­ing ramped up and is ex­pect­ed to con­tin­ue to­wards at­tain­ing full pro­duc­tion and de­liv­ery of 40 mil­lion gal­lons per day (mgd) by to­day.

They added that WASA "will be work­ing to­wards the grad­ual nor­mal­iza­tion of its trans­mis­sion and dis­tri­b­u­tion sys­tem over the com­ing days."

WASA al­so thanked their cus­tomers "for their pa­tience and un­der­stand­ing dur­ing this dis­rup­tion in ser­vice."
