RESIDENTS OF BOSCOBEL, St Peter, and surrounding areas are frustrated and angry that they have been without water, some for a week, and others for more than two.
And yesterday people in the northern parish appealed to the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) to come to their assistance as a matter of urgency because the situation was reaching crisis level for them.
A resident of Collins, near Boscobel, who gave her name only as Andrea, told the DAILY NATION: “We were without water for a whole week and sometimes you don’t even see a water truck. When it does come, you can only get two buckets of water as sometimes the driver would say, ‘I have other places to go’. But on Tuesday night we had a very nice one and we got a lot more water despite it was raining.”
An upset hotel worker, who also lives in the district, complained: “Last Sunday I had my first bath at 3 o’clock and finished cooking lunch for my family around 4 p.m. This is not fair to us residents who pay our water bills.”
