The Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty is ad­vis­ing cus­tomers that as at 8:00 a.m. to­day, Thurs­day 17th Feb­ru­ary 2022, all its Wa­ter Treat­ment Plants and pro­duc­tion wells have been re­turned to op­er­a­tion, ex­cept its Aripo and North Coast fa­cil­i­ties, which cur­rent­ly are be­ing restart­ed.

An ad­vi­so­ry from the Au­thor­i­ty is­sued this morn­ing al­so re­ports that “the Point Lisas and Point Fortin De­sali­na­tion Plants, owned and op­er­at­ed by De­sal­cott and Sev­en Seas Wa­ter re­spec­tive­ly, al­so have restart­ed, but are still in the process of ramp­ing up op­er­a­tions to­wards full pro­duc­tion by lat­er to­day.

WASA says most of its Boost­er Sta­tions are of­fline, while the trans­mis­sion pipeline sys­tems con­tin­ue to recharge, which will al­low for the sys­tem­at­ic restart of these fa­cil­i­ties.

It al­so notes that as its Wa­ter Treat­ment Plants and Boost­er Sta­tions re­turn to full op­er­a­tion, it may take be­tween 24 to 72 hours for the sup­ply to nor­mal­ize to some af­fect­ed ar­eas.
