It supplied water not only to residents of the immediate areas, but others who will stop in the area from time to time to obtain water, as many houses are still as of today July 3, 2018, roofless therefore not allowing them to harness cistern water.
In some areas, the government water supply is still not available, because of broken pipes, destroyed reservoirs, no pumps and challenges to desalination plants after the National Democratic Party (NDP) Government frustrated the Biwater project.
Water pipe gone with the win!
It was last Friday June 29, 2018 that many residents called our news room to report that the water pipe was shut off and removed by the Water and Sewerage Department meaning residents without water at their homes can no longer have access.
It is unclear the reason why the water access was shut off. Director of Water and Sewerage Perline Scatliffe-Leonard could not be reached for comments up to post time.
Some residents said with the water pipe gone, it has placed them in hardship and they needed more time to fix their roofs, so they can harness cistern water or even use drums.
They believe the NDP government has not been sensitive to their needs.

The rotten apples ruin it for the people who needed it most by taking advantage of the situation. The rotten apples started acting like it was a open free car wash. Don't blame the Government for this, blame the people who took advantage.
