Public Utilities Minister Barry Padarath has issued a warning that mismanagement and corruption in water trucking will no longer be tolerated, as the Government rolled out four water trucking tank farms across South Trinidad to bring relief to residents during the dry season.
The facilities, established at a cost of just over $2 million, were launched in the constituency of Siparia, which Padarath said WASA data shows is the most underserved area in the country. The initiative follows protests by residents in parts of South Trinidad over prolonged water shortages.
“This administration will not tolerate the kind of mismanagement that has plagued water trucking in the past,” Padarath said. “That is why these tank farms are being rolled out with strict checks and balances, digitisation and direct ministerial oversight.”
