The Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty (WASA) has ad­vised cus­tomers in sev­er­al North-East Trinidad com­mu­ni­ties that wa­ter sup­ply has been re­duced be­cause of low riv­er lev­els caused by pro­longed dry sea­son con­di­tions.

In a re­lease is­sued on Tues­day, WASA said re­duced pro­duc­tion at the North Oropouche and Quare wa­ter treat­ment plants has af­fect­ed sup­ply to a num­ber of ar­eas, de­spite the start of the 2026 wet sea­son.

The Trinidad and To­ba­go Me­te­o­ro­log­i­cal Ser­vice de­clared the start of the wet sea­son on May 5, but WASA said riv­er sources re­main de­plet­ed be­yond nor­mal sea­son­al re­cov­ery lev­els be­cause of be­low-av­er­age rain­fall dur­ing the dry sea­son.
