New­ly ap­point­ed chair­man of the Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty (WASA), Roshan Bab­wah, says a com­pre­hen­sive plan for the au­thor­i­ty’s op­er­a­tions will be re­vealed with­in the next month.

He says ad­dress­ing the coun­try’s wa­ter sup­ply chal­lenges—par­tic­u­lar­ly in un­der­served ar­eas—is the top pri­or­i­ty for the new board.

Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia at In­di­an Ar­rival Day cel­e­bra­tions in Cou­va on Sat­ur­day, Bab­wah, 55, who is a lawyer by pro­fes­sion, said WASA has been in­un­dat­ed with com­plaints from res­i­dents in South and Cen­tral Trinidad, as well as parts of the East-West Cor­ri­dor.
