RESIDENTS in parts of Northeast Trinidad serviced by the North Oropouche Water Treatment Plant are advised to prepare for a temporary water supply shutdown on Sunday from 9 am to 4 pm.
The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) announced the planned interruption to facilitate critical cleaning and desilting works at the facility’s intake in a release on Thursday.
Affected communities include Sangre Grande (Town), Sangre Chiquito, Manzanilla, Coalmine, Guaico/Guaico Tamana, Malabar Phases 1, 3 & 4, Tumpuna Road, San Rafael, Brazil, La Horquetta, Carapo/O’Meara Road, Signature Park/Mausica Road, Maloney Gardens, Five Rivers, Millennium Park, Sunrise Park, and Golden Grove Road.
