Infrastructure challenges stall WASCO’s northern pipeline upgrade

The Water and Sewerage Company Inc. (WASCO) says work on the Northern Pipeline Upgrade Project has stalled after unexpected “infrastructural challenges” emerged during the replacement of an ageing 14-inch cast-iron pipeline with a modern 20-inch ductile-iron main.Large blue pipes are visible along the roadside between the Bonne Terre and Gros Islet town gaps, where work on the final section of a phased northern transmission pipeline upgrade began in August.
