MY WATER

Little Ramon Stoute just couldn’t wait to get his hands wet when a Barbados Water Authority (BWA) truck pulled into Lightfoot Lane, The City, yesterday to service residents whose supply had been temporarily shut off due to repair work.

Two BWA crews were in the Lightfoot Lane/Chapman Street area, as well as in 8th Avenue, New Orleans.

They were replacing a ferrule, a routine procedure which they said required the water to be shut off for about a half-hour, while in Lightfoot Lane they were replacing another piece of piping.

Affected residents said they were happy to have water brought to them during the outage. (CA)
