ST. JOHN\u2019S, Antigua and Barbuda \u2014 A historic water tank in the Liberta community has been left structurally unstable after it was struck by a motor vehicle, prompting a public safety warning from the area\u2019s Member of Parliament, Hon. E.P. Chet Greene.<\/p>

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

In a statement issued on Sunday, Greene said the tank, located just outside the Grace Hill Moravian Church, sustained significant damage in the collision and is now considered dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe community is advised that the historic water tank located just outside the Grace Hill Moravian Church in Liberta has sustained significant structural damage following a collision with a motor vehicle,\u201d Greene said.<\/p>

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

The structure, believed to be more than 100 years old, is now unstable and poses a serious risk to anyone who approaches it.<\/p>

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

Greene said the relevant authorities have already been notified and that a report has been filed with the Public Works Department. Requests have also been made for urgent repairs to address the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he warned that until repair work begins, the structure remains extremely hazardous.<\/p>

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

\u201cThe public is hereby warned to keep a safe distance and refrain from approaching, leaning on or touching the water tank under any circumstances,\u201d Greene said, adding that there is a risk the structure could collapse and cause injury or death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents, guardians and teachers are also being urged to caution children against playing near the tank while the area remains unsafe.<\/p>

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

Greene thanked residents for their vigilance and cooperation as efforts are made to address the situation.<\/p>
