The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) has implemented a revised interim water schedule for customers served by the North Oropouche Water Treatment Plant. Production at the facility has dropped from 20 to 16 million gallons per day (MGD) due to ongoing dry conditions.
Low rainfall during the transition to the wet season has limited the recharge of water sources, affecting supply, particularly in the North East Region. The revised schedule is aimed at improving reliability and ensuring fair distribution of available water. Customers are urged to conserve water as conditions persist.
Affected Areas Served by the North Oropouche Water Treatment Plant Include:
Sunrise Park, Millennium Park, Trincity Millennium Vision, Five Rivers, Golden Grove Road,
Maximum Security Prison, Maloney Manzanilla, Nariva Road, Old Plum Road, North

WASA is urging all customers in these communities to view the revised water supply schedules, which are now available on all official WASA digital media platforms, including our website and social media channels. Customers are encouraged to regularly monitor these platforms for updates.
As a responsible utility managing under challenging circumstances, WASA reiterates the need for collective responsibility in water use. All customers, whether directly affected or not, are strongly urged to conserve water, store adequately during scheduled supply periods, and avoid wastage. Simple actions such as repairing leaks, using a bucket for washing vehicles, and reusing water where possible can make a significant difference.
The Authority continues to monitor weather patterns and raw water availability closely and will advise the public of any further changes. WASA thanks the public for its understanding and cooperation as we work to navigate this difficult period together.
