– Customers can make use of direct assistance or can call WASA’s Customer Call Centre toll-free number.

WASA expected the people to maintain peace and cooperation. People are advised to be prepared with basic arrangements to combat the situation. 

Last month, the areas of North East Trinidad, served by the North Oropouche Water Treatment Plant, went without water on January 23. Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) conducted maintenance work, which resulted in the disruption of the water supply. 

The T&TEC work affected Sangre Grande (Town), Sangre Chiquito, Malabar Phases 1,3, & 4, Coalmine, La Horquetta, Golden Grove Road, Sunrise Park, Maloney Gardens, San Rafael, and Millenium Park, among others.

Noting this, the work had disturbed the electricity supply to the facility.
