Boscobel water blues

FRUSTRATIONS IN THE North over the water outages are spreading just as fast as the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) can address them.

Yesterday the MIDWEEK NATION team heard the plight of several residents in the Boscobel, St Peter area who said they were fed up with the months of intermittent water supply which had left them suffering in multiple ways.

“They’re making fun of us!” livestock farmer Steven Barrow vented. He said that two of his newly born piglets had died after he was unable to give them water.

“I need to get water to look after my animals. It has me in stress. I had 15 piglets and two died because there wasn’t enough water.”

Please read the full story in today’s Midweek Nation, or in the eNATION edition.
