The Public Utilities Ministry says it has invested $84 million in water infrastructure.

A release on social media said up to 200,000 people stand to benefit from this investment, which it believes will improve water reliability across the nation’s communities.

Recent upgrades include the Guanapo Water Treatment Plant and the refurbishment of the North Oropouche Water Treatment Plant.

Meanwhile refurbishment works are expected for the Freeport, Navet and Chatham water treatment plants.
