The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) says the Desalination Company of Trinidad and Tobago (Desalcott) will be conducting emergency electrical repair works at their facility today from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

During this period, water delivery from Desalcott to the WASA will be reduced to 20-24 million gallons per day, down from the usual 40 million gallons per day.
