COMMUNICATE WITH the people of St Joseph crying out for water.
This is Prime Minister Freundel Stuart’s admonishment to the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) in response to the pleas from residents of the rural parish who have been experiencing severe water woes for nearly a year.
“I would like to see the Water Authority improve the state of its communication with the residents not only in St Joseph, but in other water-affected areas,” he told the media yesterday, outside a meeting of the Social Partnership at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre.
While expressing thanks to the people in St Joseph and in other water-affected areas for “the patience and understanding they have shown in what have been very difficult circumstances”, Stuart stressed that communication was “one of the chronic issues” between the BWA and the residents themselves.
