Dirty water woes in Spring Farm

RESIDENTS OF Spring Farm, St Thomas are disgusted by what is coming out of their taps but the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) will be launching an investigation.

In the most extreme case, a man showed a picture and a video of him collecting dark orange-brown water, which he said had been running for some time but was not clearing up.

“The water was off on Thursday and was back on by Friday. I turn on the tap and this rusty water come out. At first, I thought it was mud,” he said.

Requesting anonymity, the man said the water left a residue in the bucket, adding it was not the first time he had seen it.

“It has been coming so for weeks. Friday I run it for over an hour and it was still that colour, so I just turn off the tap and went long,” he said. (CA)
