WASA links Olton Road shortages to production and pipelines

WACK 90.1 FM · NEWS | Published 10 November 2026 | News synthesis

Reduced production at the Hollis Water Treatment Plant and limitations in local pipelines are contributing to shortages affecting Olton Road in Arima, WASA said in a statement on 9 November. The authority identified the eastern section of Olton Trace as particularly vulnerable to low pressure.

Residents had described carrying water from other communities and installing tanks and pumps. WASA’s response offered an explanation for the supply problems but did not give a timetable for improvements. The explanation is attributed to the authority; its original statement was not directly available for this synthesis.
