The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) has condemned what it called the indiscriminate discharge in the Guanapo River, jeopardising operations at the Caroni Water Treatment Plant.

A statement from WASA on March 17 assured the public that water along the distribution network is safe.

WASA said it became aware of the irresponsible actions of a contractor engaged in quarrying activity, who has been discharging effluent directly into drains that flow into the upstream Guanapo River.
