The Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty (WASA) says it has ex­pe­ri­enced sev­er­al chal­lenges re­cent­ly with main­tain­ing a con­sis­tent wa­ter sup­ply to cus­tomers in the San Fran­cique area, but ex­pects to have the ser­vice re­stored by this com­ing week­end.

Cus­tomers in the San Fran­cique zone re­ceive a sup­ply from the Ca­roni Wa­ter Treat­ment Plant, via the South Oropouche Boost­er and then the Thicke Vil­lage Boost­er.

“It is im­por­tant to note that there are sev­er­al land­slip ar­eas with­in the San Fran­cique zone, which have been en­gag­ing the at­ten­tion of the Min­istry of Works and Trans­port. These land­slips at times cause dam­age to the Au­thor­i­ty’s pipeline in­fra­struc­ture, lead­ing to dis­rup­tions in ser­vice, which has oc­curred sev­er­al times over the last few months,” a state­ment read.

Apart from these, WASA says there were al­so dis­rup­tions stem­ming from the South Oropouche/Thicke Vil­lage Boost­ers on Ju­ly 2, due to leak re­pair at Mos­qui­to Creek; Ju­ly 9, due to re­duced pro­duc­tion at Point Lisas De­sal Plant; Au­gust 8, due to leak re­pair at Salt­mine Trace; and Au­gust 25 – 27, due to emer­gency re­pairs at the Ca­roni Plant.

WASA says it has been pro­vid­ing a sup­ple­men­tary truck borne wa­ter sup­ply, with par­tic­u­lar fo­cus on cus­tomers at el­e­vat­ed points or at the ex­trem­i­ties of the dis­tri­b­u­tion sys­tem, who were most af­fect­ed.
