Barbados Water Authority (BWA) officials are looking into an act of burglary and vandalism which occurred at its Bay Street lift station last Thursday.
Calling it “an act of terrorism”, the BWA’s rapid response and communications manager Joy-Ann Haigh said the culprit turned off the power and defecated on the property.
When contacted, police public relations officer acting Inspector Roland Cobbler could not confirm if any such report to either Worthing or Central Police Station was made by any official of the BWA.
The incident comes as BWA officials try to fix the aging South Coast Sewage Treatment Plant, grapple with assorted foreign objects like foetuses and syringes in the lines, and repair the BWA’s battered reputation.
“We found out on Thursday we had a break-in at the lift station and it wasn’t to steal something but to turn off the pump,” said Haigh, who was a guest on Starcom Network’s Sunday Brass Tacks yesterday. (HLE/AD)
