Several homes in Central and South Trinidad will be affected by the planned shutdown of the Point Lisas Desalination Plant for maintenance work.
In a press release, the Desalination Company of Trinidad and Tobago (Desalcott) advised that the planned shutdown is scheduled to take place from 12:00 noon on Monday November 8th to Saturday November 13th, 2021. Some of the affected areas will include Caroni, Cunupia, San Fernando, Phillipine, Rambert Village, and La Brea.
As such, WASA is expected to increase production and redistribution of supply from the Caroni and Navet Water Treatment Plants, implement temporary supply schedules, ensure capacity storage at critical service reservoirs and increase water trucking capacity.
