Water ration ‘not new’

Unhappy voices are already being heard.

Hours after it was announced by the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) that it would be introducing special water rationing from today, some St Thomas residents said the way they were being treated in terms of their access to consistent running potable water was unfair.

Some said the rationing would not be new to them.

At a press conference yesterday morning, Minister of Water Resources Wilfred Abrahams and BWA officials said residents in parts of St Joseph, St John and St Thomas being supplied with potable water from the Castle Grant system – which received water from four sources at Sweet Vale, Golden Ridge and Apes Hill – would be rationed.
