Waste of water

Date:

Share post:

WATER HAS BEEN flowing in Bryan Road, Welchman Hall, for the past five days.

But residents in the lush St Thomas village are far from happy about it.

That’s because the water is first flying more than 30 feet into the air from a ruptured main, and then through the streets, without being used by a single household.

Douglas Brewster, a resident in the area, called the Barbados Water Authority to report the burst pipe when it ruptured last Wednesday, but up to Press time yesterday, it remained unrepaired. (BA)
