Full water service is expected to be restored by 6 am on Monday, as the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) continues permanent repair works on the 36-inch transmission pipeline near Beetham Gardens.

WASA said reports of discoloured water in several areas across Central and South Trinidad are linked to the ongoing emergency works.

According to the Authority, a significant leak developed on the pipeline on Monday, April 6. 2026. While a temporary repair was carried out the same day to restore service, permanent repairs are now necessary to ensure the long-term safety and reliability of the system.
