The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) is advising customers throughout parts of Trinidad and Tobago that it has made further adjustments to some water supply schedules, in keeping with ongoing Dry Season mitigation measures and its 2024 Dry Season - Water Supply Management Plan. In a News Release on Thursday (2nd May, 2024), WASA notes that the heat, resultant dryness and lack of rainfall throughout the 2024 Dry Season, has caused an average daily loss of production of approximately 25 million gallons per day (mgd). This represents approximately 10% of the Authority's total daily production. To mitigate the impact of this situation, the Authority said it has been enacting various aspects of its Water Supply Management Plan over the course of the Dry Season. This includes, among others, system adjustments along the transmission and distribution pipeline networks, amended schedules, the introduction of new groundwater sources in some areas, expanded water trucking service, as well as the implementation of water use restrictions and encouraging citizens to conserve water through its “Value Every Drop” campaign. Notwithstanding these measures, WASA said the ongoing intensity of the 2024 Dry Season now requires further amendments to the water supply schedules in some areas, as follows:
Amended Water Supply Schedules: The News Release concluded by saying, “As the country continues to cope with the effects of the harsh conditions associated with the 2024 Dry Season, the Authority has been taking the necessary steps to prudently manage the country's available water resources. Moreover, we would like to thank our customers for continuing to partner with us by exercising proper water conservation habits.“
