Castries, Saint Lucia, July 14th, 2026. The Water and Sewerage Company Inc. (WASCO) wishes to clarify that the company does not operate or maintain a sewer line along Bridge Street, Castries.

WASCO has been made aware of concerns regarding the presence of wastewater seeping onto the roadway in the Bridge Street area and the impact this situation is having on vendors and members of the public. While the company recognizes the inconvenience and concerns associated with this issue, the matter does not fall under WASCO’s current sewerage infrastructure network or operational responsibility.

WASCO remains committed to supporting the proper management of Saint Lucia’s water and wastewater systems and continues to respond to issues that fall within its mandate. However, where wastewater concerns involve infrastructure or systems outside of WASCO’s ownership and management, the relevant authorities or responsible parties must be engaged to address the matter.

The company encourages members of the public who observe wastewater-related concerns to report them through the appropriate channels.

WASCO appreciates the understanding and cooperation of the public as efforts continue to ensure clarity around the responsibilities of the various agencies involved in managing public infrastructure.
