The Barbados Water Authority (BWA) is not rationing water, says Minister of Energy and Water Resources, Wilfred Abrahams.
In a press release yesterday, Abrahams addressed the lack of water in St John, explaining it was a direct result of low water levels at the BWA’s Bowmanston pumping station.
He said the critical contributing factor was the low stream levels in the aquifer, a consequence of the extreme drought being experienced in the Caribbean and other parts of the world. 
“Each day, the BWA pumps water into the affected areas until the reservoir is depleted . . . . Once there is water in the reservoir, that water is fed into the system until the reservoir is entirely dry . . . . Once the supply is exhausted, the taps are dry until the reservoir is replenished,” he said. (RA/PR)
