Re­pairs are un­der­way at the Matu­ra Wa­ter Treat­ment Plant fol­low­ing a tem­po­rary shut­down caused by ad­verse weath­er and me­chan­i­cal fail­ure, WASA said Mon­day.

Flood­ed riv­er con­di­tions and clogged in­take screens ini­tial­ly dis­rupt­ed op­er­a­tions. A me­chan­i­cal fault in the plant’s in­ter­nal pipeline sys­tem lat­er de­layed re­pairs fur­ther.

The af­fect­ed com­mu­ni­ties in­clude Matu­ra, Saly­bia, Pierre Street, Gray Trace, Orosco Bay Road, and Men­doza Street.
