Wasa doesn’t care

THE EDITOR: Please grant me a space in your widely read newspaper to express my disgust with the way WASA is treating over 1,500 villagers of St Charles and adjoining villages with water during the wee hours of the night.

The situation has been so for over ten years. But the gas station at St Charles can get a truckload of water every day for commercial use, ie to wash vehicles, but residents cannot get truck borne water as though we are not taxpayers.

Those who can afford overhead tanks will get water during the night, but what about those who do not have or cannot afford? They have to buy water or borrow a Good Samaritan’s van or car and go to Petit Morne, near the recreation ground to get this precious commodity. Is this fair and just, WASA? Or is this injustice an unequal treatment?

My advice to WASA is to run the water through the pipe from 3 am to 9 am so that a wide section of consumers may breathe a sigh of relief to get the indispensable commodity. Come on WASA show that you can care for the little man too.
