Most Government employees at the Warrens Complex in Warrens, St Michael, were yesterday allowed to walk off the job shortly after they reported for work – not because of a protest, but because of an “interruption” in the water supply.
When a WEEKEND Nation team arrived at the location most of the workers were already gone.
However, workers from the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) and the Barbados Fire Service were there trying to get the service restored.
At about 3:30 p.m. the Weekend Nation was reliably informed that “the water has been restored and workers would be at work tomorrow [today]”.
Last Saturday morning the island received a battering from Tropical Storm Tomas which left a number of residential and business places without water.
Some electricity and telephone services interrupted across the island, are yet to be restored. (MM)
