AS THE NORTH of the island is starved of water, things are looking brown.
When some people in St Joseph accessed the community tanks this week what came out was far from satisfactory.
“The water in this tank dirty. I have to leff here and go St Thomas to look for clean water. All yesterday the water was off and the water authority fill it last night but look at it. I get up at 4 a.m for this? How can you drink water like that?” said Chimborazo resident Sharon, as she identified herself.
Another resident, who requested anonymity, said when the water was boiled, it left the kettle brown with a lot of limescale residue left. The concerned resident said she was “very shocked at what is being advertised as drinking water”. (CA)
