Public Utilities Minister Marvin Gonzales says police are probing allegations of water racketeering in the Sangre Grande district.
He said this stems from reports that residents are made to pay between $300 and $500 for a truckload of water and claims water installations are tampered with.
Gonzales made these remarks during a Water and Sewage Authority double sod-turning ceremony for the Guanapo and North Oropouche water treatment plants at Guanapo Heights, Arima, on February 19. He was joined by his parliamentary colleagues, Minister of Planning Penelope Beckles-Robinson, Youth Development Minister Foster Cummings, and Cumuto/Manzanilla MP Dr Rai Ragbir.
