The Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty has be­gun im­ple­ment­ing mea­sures to man­age the coun­try’s wa­ter sup­ply, fol­low­ing the de­c­la­ra­tion of the start of the 2026 Dry Sea­son by the Trinidad and To­ba­go Me­te­o­ro­log­i­cal Ser­vice on Jan­u­ary 8, 2025.

WASA said it is close­ly mon­i­tor­ing wa­ter re­sources and tak­ing steps to main­tain a sus­tain­able sup­ply through­out the dry pe­ri­od, adding that co­op­er­a­tion be­tween the Au­thor­i­ty and the pub­lic is crit­i­cal as con­di­tions be­come dri­er.

The Au­thor­i­ty re­port­ed that as of Thurs­day 8 Jan­u­ary 2025, the coun­try’s four main im­pound­ed reser­voirs were above their re­spec­tive long-term av­er­ages, plac­ing WASA in a favourable po­si­tion as the Dry Sea­son be­gins.
