It is a couple weeks now into the rainy season, and it has been raining regularly but not enough to get the water dams close to where they normally are this time of year. It has been 5 days since my area has had water from the mains. That is the length of time it takes for my house to use out our two tank reserve with regular use, ie. washing, showers, toilets. The latest news from WASA is "low suction at the booster pump". They can't say when the problem will be fixed, and a truck delivery still takes "3-4 working days depending on the number of requests". What we are left with is the options to either buy a truck load or go live by a neighbour. It is about $400 for a truck load that is delivered usually the same day or the next. The problem is it always somehow a very brown colour, and has a bad scent, basically what you find in a river. This comes from both the official WASA trucks and the paid ones to your house. I can't imagine that they use a WASA main to get it, somebody in QA/QC not doing their job.
The schedule that was made back in February was never followed in my area. We got water more regularly during the drought than we did in the previous 18 months. Now that we are back in the rainy season it is the same ole', same ole' i guess. Ah Trinidad...
