Water restored to customers of WASA's Caroni plant

The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) said in its press conference earlier on Thursday that repairs to the Caroni water treatment plant were expected to be completed at 1 pm. Speaking to Newsday, communications manager Daniel Plenty said the water supply was restored to a few areas at that time and it will gradually build over the next 48 hours.

He also warned that there will be discolouration due to the pipes being dry for a couple days, but advised that people let the water run until it gets clear.

The affected areas as listed in a release on Wednesday are Oropune Gardens, parts of St Augustine, Curepe, Valsayn, St Joseph, Champ Fleurs, Mt Hope, Mt Lambert, Saddle Road, San Juan, Bagatelle, Laventille Road, Febeau Village, Success Village, Malick, Trou Macaque, Santa Cruz, Barataria, Morvant, East Dry River, St Barbs, Gonzales, Belmont, Port of Spain, Woodbrook, St James, Cocorite, St Anns and Cascade.

On Wednesday, it said repairs were supposed to be done by 4 pm that day.
