Upper Celestine Trace, Maraval, now has a water supply once again.

Newsday highlighted the dire situation there in a September 18 story headlined: No water at Mr Peter’s Parlour.

WASA subsequently said it had recently experienced challenges in maintaining a reliable water supply to customers at the extremities of the Maraval water treatment plant distribution system

In an e-mail to Newsday, WASA said, “This was due primarily to mechanical problems that affected one of the pumps at the Maraval plant, which required extensive repair works. Repairs to the pump were completed on September 10.”

The utility compaby said it has been working toreturn the service to normal, particularly to affected customers at the extremities of the distribution system.

It said the upper Celestine Trace area, along with Nicholas, Faustin and Clovis Streets, received a supply as scheduled on September 17-18 and will next receive a supply on September 20. Newsday confirmed that Peter Mendez, owner of the parlour, had received water after the repairs.

WASA did not comment on the problems experienced by those supplied by the Guanapo water treatment plant in Pinto and environs, which was raised in another Newsday report.

Rachel Bhagwandeen –

A 32-year-old male suspect is now in police custody in relation to the death of Rachel Bhagwandeen, 11, who was mauled by a dog last month.

On August 25, Rachel and her nine-year-old brother Jaylon were watching TV at a family home in Vistabella and the dog entered the room.

Rachel pushed Jaylon to the door and told him to run and that she’d handle it since she’s older.

Her brother ran and alerted his mother, Seema Bhagwandeen, 41, and other relatives, who rushed to try to save the child but to no avail.

The dog was put down some days after, and Bhagwandeen’s funeral was held on September 3.

On Monday afternoon, acting Snr Supt Richard Smith – commander of the police’s Southern division – told Newsday the suspect was participating in an ID parade at the time and that the file would be sent to the Director of Public Prosecution’s (DPP’s) office on Tuesday.

He said the arrest happened over the weekend and confirmed the suspect is a relative of Bhagwandeen.

The inflation rate – calculated as the percentage change in average of all items – for the period January to July 2022 was a 4.7 per cent increase from the same period in 2021, according to the Central Statistical Office’s (CSO) index of retail prices, released to the media on Sunday.

The CSO said the rate represented an increase from the rate calculated from January to June 2022, which stood at 4.5 per cent.

The inflation rate for January to July 2021 was 1.3 per cent.

The CSO said the index of retail prices indicated that there was a 1.5 per cent increase for all items up to June 2022.

Food and non-alcoholic beverages increased from 132 price points in June to 135.8 – a 2.9 per cent increase.

Increases in prices of rice, white flour, tomatoes, ochroes, melongene, green pepper, chive, celery ketchup and white bread contributed to the increases in prices.

“However, the full impact of these price increases was offset by the general decreases in the prices of green pigeon peas, fresh whole chickens, fresh king fish fresh carite other chilled or frozen chicken, carrots, hot peppers, garlic, other fresh pork and salted pig tail.”

The CSO also noted incremental increases in alcoholic beverages and tobacco, clothing and footwear, housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels, furnishings, household equipment, and routine maintenance of the house.

Health, transport, recreation and culture, hotels cafes and restaurants and miscellaneous goods and services also increased.

All other sections remain unchanged.
