Barataria/San Juan MP Sad­dam Ho­sein says res­i­dents of North Trinidad in­clu­sive of his con­stituents have been ex­pe­ri­enc­ing an un­ac­cept­able and in­suf­fer­able sit­u­a­tion where they have been left with­out wa­ter for the last 96 hours.

In a me­dia re­lease MP Ho­sein said this con­tin­u­ing state of af­fairs is "un­de­sir­able and in­tol­er­a­ble."

He said "WASA’s com­mu­ni­ca­tion has col­lapsed by fail­ing to pro­vide prop­er and ef­fec­tive up­dates to keep the pop­u­la­tion in­formed about the on-go­ing re­pairs which is re­spon­si­ble for the dis­rup­tion of a pipe borne wa­ter sup­ply to res­i­dents of Barataria/ San Juan and sur­round­ing ar­eas. The spo­radic press re­leas­es are in­suf­fi­cient. The host­ing of a press con­fer­ence with the re­pairs tak­ing place in the back­ground means ab­solute­ly noth­ing if WASA is un­able to pro­vide a date on which cus­tomers are ex­pect­ed to re­ceive wa­ter in their taps."

He said the in­for­ma­tion be­ing pro­vid­ed by WASA that it can­not pro­vide a time­line when wa­ter will be re­stored is to­tal­ly un­ac­cept­able and woe­ful­ly in­ad­e­quate in its com­mu­ni­ca­tion to mem­bers of the pub­lic.
