LOW WATER PRESSURE and persistent water outages over the last three weeks are tarnishing the image of one of Barbados’ most exclusive resorts and costing them big bucks too.
Yesterday, Royal Westmoreland Barbados Resorts’ chief executive officer Greg Schofield said that over a third of the residences, mostly those on the highest elevation of the resort, suffered from a trickle or no water between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. most days.
