The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) and Lake Asphalt have signed a Memorandum of Agreement, promising to repair leaks in a way that does not create potholes.
The agreement was signed on Tuesday at WASA’s headquarters in St Joseph.
The agreement was described as a landmark step towards alleviating the negative effects of WASA’s leak repair programme and will break from the old method of using excavated material for repairs.
Now, Lake Asphalt will provide the materials for the repairs.
The agreement specifies that Lake Asphalt will back a large-scale road repair programme, tackling 9,000 projects initially.
It was signed by WASA chairman Ravindra Nanga and Lake Asphalt’s chairman Neil Mohammed.
