Dear Editor,<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I wrote a letter earlier decrying the fact that I had not had consistent water for about a week. To add insult to injury, APUA was kind enough to also take off the electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is really going on in this country? <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We have been fortunate enough to not have been hit by a serious storm that could damage or destroy our reverse osmosis plants and our electricity system but on a bright, sunny, good day, we are still forced to live as if our country’s infrastructure has been decimated by a natural disaster.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n


As I asked before, what is the REAL problem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n


It cannot be that the government has invested so much in fixing the water problem including making a change with management to only yield these results.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n


We have not had water in a week, but now we cannot run our fan or air conditioning unit to keep cool?<\/p>\n\n\n\n


This place is now only for the rich who can provide themselves with their own constant water supply and generator to keep the pump working and the lights on.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n


It’s as if our government is working its way out of being useful since it cannot provide us with basic needs.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I am officially hating living in Antigua at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very Frustrated Antiguan<\/p>\n
