ON SUNDAY, a Barbados Water Authority (BWA) crew assigned to clean one of the sewage mains in The City discovered a burst main by accident.
The main, just outside City Centre Mall, had been leaking for an unknown period.
“One of the jetting trucks was clearing this sewer [Sunday] morning and the road under the truck just gave way,” said one of the workers at the site. “So when the truck dropped in, we had to get a crane to lift out the truck.”
BWA workers then had to dig close about 15 feet deep and 12 feet wide to find the burst main.
“So from that time till now we were trying to fix the problem, so hopefully by this (Monday) evening we will get it finished,” the worker said. (SB)
