Non-stop work to repair burst main

Workmen from the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) braved continuous showers as they worked around the clock today to correct a burst 15-inch main in Roebuck Street, The City.
The pipe exploded on Monday causing major water outages, inconveniencing some businesses, residents and schools in the area.
According to public relations officer, Yvette Harris-Griffith, areas affected included “Roebuck Street from its junction with Country Road to its junction with Spry Street and to several side streets off Roebuck Street, including Pinfold Street and Crumpton Street,” she said in a press release.
A number of BWA workers blocked off a section of the roadway as they continued dug up the affected area and carried out major repairs to the faulty main. (MM)
