Res­i­dents across sev­er­al com­mu­ni­ties in Trinidad and To­ba­go are fac­ing con­tin­ued dis­rup­tions in their wa­ter sup­ply due to ad­verse weath­er con­di­tions that have af­fect­ed the op­er­a­tions of sur­face wa­ter treat­ment fa­cil­i­ties.

The Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty (WASA) re­leased its fourth up­date this morn­ing high­light­ing the ex­tent of the im­pact caused by per­sis­tent heavy rain­fall.

In the North­ern re­gion of Trinidad, fa­cil­i­ties in Tom­pire, Matu­ra, Quare, Gua­napo, La Pas­to­ra, Mc David, L&N, Las Cuevas, Rin­con, La Fil­lette, and Blan­chisseuse re­main af­fect­ed. These dis­rup­tions are large­ly due to high tur­bid­i­ty and clogged in­take screens—a re­sult of rivers be­ing swollen and flood­ed from pro­longed rain­fall.
