The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) has said it is continuing to closely monitor reservoir levels across the country amid below-average rainfall for the current dry season.

According to WASA while some reservoirs have seen a decline in capacity, the Authority assures the public that proactive measures are in place to manage the nation’s water resources efficiently and minimise disruptions to supply.

In a release WASA added:

“As of 6:00 a.m. today, March 26, 2025, key reservoir statistics are as follows:
• Hollis Reservoir: 67.54% capacity with a long-term average of 68.54%
• Hillsborough Dam: 88.3% capacity with a long-term average of 77.1%
• Arena Dam: 64.51% capacity with a long-term average of 78.1%
• Navet Dam: 65.93% capacity with a long-term average of 72.35%

While some reservoirs, such as Arena and Navet, are below their long-term averages, WASA’s well-established contingency plans ensure that water distribution remains optimized.”

Adjusted schedules have been published on the Authority’s website (www.wasa.gov.tt) and official social media channels to keep customers informed.

Strategic Measures include:
• Enhanced Water Production & Distribution: WASA is maximizing output from stable sources while balancing supply across affected areas.
• Leak Detection & Repair: Teams are actively addressing pipeline losses to reduce wastage.
• Public Conservation Appeal: Customers are urged to avoid unnecessary water use and report leaks or unauthorized consumption.

WASA CEO, Keithroy Halliday acknowledges the impact of prolonged dry spells on service delivery: “We are aware of the frustrations faced by some communities, particularly those at the extremities of the distribution system. The Authority remains of high alert and responsive, optimizing the resources available and addressing the concerns presented.”
