The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) has advised customers in parts of north-west Trinidad, served by the El Socorro Booster Station, who are currently experiencing a disruption in their water supply that this is due to a ruptured discharge pipeline at the facility.

In a release Tuesday, WASA reported the damage to the 30” transmission main occurred at approximately 9 p.m. on Monday.

"The Authority’s repair team has been onsite since overnight and a timeframe for completion of emergency repairs and restoration of supply will be forthcoming in a subsequent update," the release stated.
