Act­ing Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty (WASA) CEO Jee­van Joseph yes­ter­day led his new ex­ec­u­tive team on a tour of wa­ter in­fra­struc­ture projects in Cen­tral Trinidad.

The team vis­it­ed key sites in the Freeport and Cou­va sup­ply zones, a re­lease from the au­thor­i­ty said.

Chair­man Roshan Bab­wah, com­mis­sion­er Tawari To­ta-Ma­haraj and T&TEC Chair­man Anil Ka­mal joined the tour, along with rep­re­sen­ta­tives from the Cou­va/Tabaquite/Tal­paro Re­gion­al Cor­po­ra­tion.

The re­lease said the team in­spect­ed up­grade works at the Freeport Wa­ter Treat­ment Plant and Freeport Wells #23 and Pipeline Project, which aim to im­prove ca­pac­i­ty and shift com­mu­ni­ties such as Cou­va, Carlsen Field, and Freeport from in­ter­mit­tent wa­ter sup­ply to sched­uled ser­vice, rang­ing from 24/3 to 24/7.

The team al­so vis­it­ed the Pt Lisas De­sali­na­tion Plant op­er­at­ed by De­sal­cott.

The fa­cil­i­ty pro­vides potable wa­ter to house­holds and busi­ness­es in cen­tral and south west Trinidad.

Joseph high­light­ed the sig­nif­i­cance of the plant in meet­ing high de­mand needs.

Bab­wah said the au­thor­i­ty re­mains fo­cused on eq­ui­table wa­ter dis­tri­b­u­tion and long-term plan­ning, adding on­go­ing in­vest­ments are aimed at meet­ing both cur­rent needs and fu­ture de­mand.

The re­lease said the ex­ec­u­tive team con­tin­ues to mon­i­tor project de­liv­ery while main­tain­ing fo­cus on ser­vice im­prove­ments.

WASA has in­di­cat­ed that ac­count­abil­i­ty and col­lab­o­ra­tion will guide its op­er­a­tions go­ing for­ward.
