Sharing what was released on social media today:

SUPPLY INTERRUPTION - North and South Trinidad


Water and Sewerage Authority advises customers in North, Central and South Trinidad, served by the Caroni Water Treatment Plant that the plant was restarted at approximately 2:00 a.m. this morning - Saturday 7th February 2015. The plant, which went out of operation as a result of a blown transformer at 4:30 p.m. yesterday afternoon, is however currently producing at about 73% capacity or 55 million gallons per day.


The Authority is presently engaged in attempting to source a replacement for the blown transformer, in collaboration with T&TEC, which has been working closely with WASA since the incident occurred.

In the meantime, some customers will experience low pressures or no water, as the Authority implements temporary water schedules to some areas, in an attempt to minimize the impact of the shortfall in production at the plant.

Saddle Road, San Juan Bagatelle
Laventille Road, Febeau Village Success Village, Laventille
Malick Trou Macque

In the end customers get no rebate or compensation. They are left with more dirty water.

Strangely since the repair, water has been coming a lot cleaner at home for me.

Cleaner water by me too, and possibly better pressure as well. Water normally goes around once a week here for a few days so I'm wondering how this will affect things. Someone told me this will most likely lead to a massive water shortage throughout the entire country, leading to drought-like conditions any day now. *scrutinizes temporary higher pressure and cleaner water*

Another Wasa interruptions happened this week. A snake crawled onto the transformer, coming into contact with two leads that grounded off, resulting in an electrical fire that burned the transformer wiring at the plant last Saturday night. This left 35,000 without water
