VIGOROUS ASSURANCES from authorities have not quelled the concerns of some Barbadians about the quality of water delivered in their taps.

During the meeting at Alexandra School in St Peter, which was attended by around two dozen people, Hallam Hope was the first to register his unease and raised questions about checks and balances.
He referenced one of the proposed Overall Standards dealing with potable water quality.
