Burst WASA pipeline causes water disruption to north customers

Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) customers in north Trinidad serviced by the Caroni Water Treatment Plant are without water because of a burst pipeline near the Curepe interchange on the Churchill Roosevelt Highway.

A statement sent on March 14 said the authority turned off the water supply so a crew could assess the damage and what repairs would be needed.

The affected areas are Oropune Gardens, parts of St Augustine, Curepe, Valsayn, St Joseph, Champs Fleurs, Mt Hope and Mt Lambert.

The release advises drivers heading west on the highway to use other routes, as the filter lane of the interchange is inaccessible.

A limited truck-borne water service is available to affected areas. Customers can contact WASA's Customer Call Centre toll free at 800-4420 or 800-4426.
