Re­pairs are un­der­way at the Matu­ra Wa­ter Treat­ment Plant fol­low­ing a tem­po­rary shut­down caused by ad­verse weath­er and me­chan­i­cal fail­ure, WASA said Sun­day.

Flood­ed riv­er con­di­tions and clogged in­take screens ini­tial­ly dis­rupt­ed op­er­a­tions. A me­chan­i­cal fault in the plant’s in­ter­nal pipeline sys­tem lat­er de­layed re­pairs fur­ther.

The af­fect­ed com­mu­ni­ties in­clude Matu­ra, Saly­bia, Pierre Street, Gray Trace, Orosco Bay Road, and Men­doza Street.

WASA ex­pects full restora­tion by Thurs­day, May 8, though some ar­eas may ex­pe­ri­ence de­lays of 24 to 48 hours de­pend­ing on el­e­va­tion and de­mand.

In the mean­time, truck-borne wa­ter is be­ing dis­trib­uted and a tem­po­rary sup­ply sched­ule is in place for To­co, Matu­ra and Saly­bia.
