PUBLIC Utilities Minister Colm Imbert says an upgraded Chatham Water Treatment Plant will go a long way towards improving the water supply for the people of South West Trinidad.

He made this comment at a sod-turning ceremony for the upgraded plant in Chatham on March 25.

Imbert praised his predecessor Marvin Gonzales for the work done with respect to this project. Gonzales was reassigned from public utilities to national security in a Cabinet reshuffle on March 17. Imbert was reassigned from finance to public utilities in that reshuffle.
