The Water and Sewerage Authority confirms the water supply in the Maracas Valley, St Joseph, meets World Health Organization standards and is safe for consumption.
This assurance follows concerns raised over potential contamination in the area.
WASA indicates its lab personnel responded immediately by conducting water quality sampling and testing at multiple locations along the distribution system, as well as at the two primary water treatment facilities supplying the area—the L&N and Acono plants.
The results from all samples, confirmed the water leaving both plants, as well as throughout the distribution system, adheres to W.H.O. safety standards.
WASA emphasized its commitment to maintaining the highest water quality and reassured residents it would continue to monitor the situation closely and carry out additional testing to ensure that the standards are consistently met.
