The Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty (WASA) has con­firmed that just over a quar­ter of cus­tomers in Trinidad and To­ba­go cur­rent­ly re­ceive un­in­ter­rupt­ed pipe-borne wa­ter, as it sought to clar­i­fy re­cent pub­lic de­bate over the state of wa­ter de­liv­ery across the coun­try.

In a state­ment is­sued Mon­day, WASA dis­closed that ver­i­fied records show 24/7 wa­ter cov­er­age stood at 19 per cent in 2024, ris­ing to 27 per cent be­tween Jan­u­ary and April 2025.

The au­thor­i­ty said the fig­ures re­flect “on­go­ing ef­forts to ad­dress sys­temic chal­lenges, in­clud­ing ag­ing in­fra­struc­ture, cli­mate im­pacts, and op­er­a­tional in­ef­fi­cien­cies.”
