Shaira Ali, Director of Water Management Services at the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA), expressed pride as she provided an overview of two projects aimed at improving water treatment infrastructure in northeast Trinidad.

The projects focus on upgrading the Guanapo Water Treatment Plant and refurbishing two storage tanks. Funded by the National Water Sector Transformation Programme of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Ali said these upgrades will significantly enhance the resilience, capacity and long-term sustainability of the country’s water infrastructure.

During the double sod-turning ceremony for the Guanapo and North Oropouche water treatment plants in Heights of Guanapo, Arima, on February 19, Ali described the projects as crucial.
