        Fraser doesn't have anything to do with water disruption In the 3rd, it's about time to stop placing blame on the man and blame those who are running the country and or help come up with a solution for our water problems. WSD is poorly run and underfunded which in turn limits them from doing their jobs to the fullest with the limited equipment that they have that are actually still working.

    Firstly, thank you for the water notice. When will a notice come from BVIEC about there constant disruptions in power. Friday it was crazy, then yesterday afternoon again. At least let the public know what has happened, what is going on, and how you are going about it to address whatever issues we are experiencing. It's wild how when the cool weather was present, we didn't have this much problems (at least I don't remember) and now with this heat, power outage!

    Look what the BVI has come to..Total failure, a shameful act...For the young ones. This BVI in the 80s up to the late 90s was base on financial reports from world bank and other financial institutions the richest Island on Planet earth base on its earnings and its population...Politicians that put their greed and self interest first brought us to this, no water, worst roads ever, no money, when people start giving us excuses instead of solutions we know we are in trouble...Aint no way out, we will continue to sink slowly while others are risen slowly above us..we in trouble.. We so bad now, no banks want to ness with us to help us, back then bank use to run to us to beg us to take a loan, not now. We in trouble...Seems like everyone in power is more focus on their huge salary and big benefits than fixing the country...Our ship is sinking slowly...Maybe a Britain take over for 2 yrs is what we need to stay afloat and get back on coast...

    this administration do care about the environment for our people

    spending money going to London
    spending money to impress outsiders

    these are very serious time and our territory is still in a recovery stage

    government continues to drag their feet to pay the people. two hundred and fifty thousand dollars spent and our people on the west side continue to inhale toxic fumes

    With the heat on, there is a lot of smelly people walking around from lack of water to handle their personal hygiene. Can you imagine a female walking around in this heat while on their monthly cycle? No amount of baby wipes can help the problem.

    I'm just praising the Almighty we made it through de man. I'm not wealthy enough to have a automatic generator to come on soon as power gone nor a full cistern in these dry weather times to fill the gap for water and sewage. Imagine having young children, hot apartment no fan and no water. Find something to thank God for and he sent some free wind so we sit outside for some time.

    Thanks BVIEC for keeping us in the heat and thanks water and sewage for making sure we can't even flush, shower or do laundry.
