The Water and Sewerage Authority advises its main Contractor has been mobilized, and is on site, to begin excavation works as investigations continue to determine the cause of the appearance of two sinkholes, along Main Street, Beetham Gardens, Port of Spain.
A third event, a suspected breach of WASA’s sewer line under the river bed in the area of CCC Boulevard is also being investigated.
WASA said at this time, there is no evidence of any effluent discharge into the Beetham Gardens community.
Coordination efforts between agencies are ongoing, due to the existence of several sub-surface infrastructure in the area of the collapsed roadway. In this regard, WASA is committed to ensuring the safety of all stakeholders by ensuring a safe environment while investigative efforts are being conducted.
The public is again advised to proceed with extreme caution around the work site, and will be informed of any revised traffic arrangements as the need arises.
