Minister of Public Utilities Barry Padarath says authorities are intensifying efforts to stop ongoing attacks on WASA facilities and the government will be going to Parliament soon to increase fines for such activity.

According to WASA, between midnight and 4 a.m. on Friday, unknown individuals removed brass couplings from water service connections at 13 locations along Mt. Pleasant Road, Carolina, Springvale, and Carolina Village.

Speaking exclusively to TTT News, Minister of Public Utilities Barry Padarath said while additional security measures like cameras are being installed, stronger enforcement and collaboration with police are key to stopping the crimes.
