No water for the year! North Sound VG residents complain of water shortage
This news site received several calls over the course of the weekend from persons complaining of the inconvenience they suffered as a result of the water shortages.
When contacted yesterday January 4, 2015, Ninth District Representative Dr The Honourable Hubert O’Neal said he had received similar complaints from residents of the affected areas and has since made inquiries regarding the problem.
According to the representative, he received word from the Water and Sewerage Department authorities that the problem originated from the malfunctioning of a pump used to distribute water. However, Dr O’Neal said that since his initial interaction with the Water and Sewerage Department he is yet to get another update with regards to when the issue will be addressed to the point that residents are receiving water again.
“Yes I did receive reports. That was since last week. I did inquire and it seems as though it is mechanical problems with a water pump to do with the distribution. There was a mechanical breakdown of the pumping system. They have technicians now working on it. But I haven’t checked back to see whether they have it repaired or not,” he told this news site.
'Some people not getting water period!'
North Sound resident Delores Creque was one of the persons affected by the water shortage.
“It started last week and it is only in some areas, the upper areas,” she said.
“I heard it has something to do with a pump. That is what I have been hearing. But it has been too long. It has been about two weeks now. Some people are saying that they are not getting water period,” she said.
Efforts to contact officials at the Water and Sewerage Department on Virgin Gorda proved futile.
Even on Tortola, persons have been complaining about the length of time it takes to resolve water issues caused by damaged pipe lines or mechanical problems.

and didn't check back, He didn't get any update. Is he that nieved or just naturally silly.
and there is no joking matter. He says he checked and never come and say anything
to the people who elected him. He lacks serious coaching. If there was recalls laws
he would be a gonna without a douth.
I know he is freshman Rep. but why is acting like a freshman politician? He obviously learned
nothing in 16 years? unbelievable to say the lease, mind boggling.
