Cus­tomers in parts of cen­tral and south west Trinidad may ex­pe­ri­ence low pres­sures, or in some in­stances an amend­ed sched­uled sup­ply from to­day due to a cut­back in pro­duc­tion at the Point Lisas De­sali­na­tion Plant.

This was con­firmed in a state­ment by WASA on Wednes­day morn­ing.

The De­sali­na­tion Com­pa­ny of Trinidad and To­ba­go – DE­SAL­COTT owned and op­er­at­ed Plant, nor­mal­ly sup­plies WASA with 40 mil­lion gal­lons of wa­ter per day (mgd); how­ev­er, this has been re­duced to 26 mgd, due to emer­gency main­te­nance work on the fil­ter sys­tem at the fa­cil­i­ty.

The work is ex­pect­ed to be com­plet­ed by mid­night on Fri­day and the plant re­stored to full pro­duc­tion on Sat­ur­day.
