BWA going after revenue

THE TRUE COST of the provision of water services will be put on the front burner of the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) under its new management.

But that does not mean customers should brace for another rate increase, new general manager Keithroy Halliday has suggested.

He is still promising a complete change in how the BWA does business in 2017 and beyond under his watch.

According to Halliday, it should not be lost on Barbadians just what a difficult task lies ahead, since the island remains in drought-like conditions, and the BWA has been forced to spend millions on upgrading its mains, some of which are more than a century old, while also dealing with issues at the South Coast Sewerage Project and the Bridgetown Sewage Treatment Plant.
