Days now golden grove ext nuh hab water. APUA you are ridiculous
With the UPP focus on the Parham electorate, it is not surprising at all that water distribution from the Crabb’s has been targeted. It is clear that the MARTIAN CANCER that affected APUA sometime, not too long ago has proven to be malignant and has returned!!!
Mr PM and your naive Ministers, see this for what it is! Crabb’s is their sole talking point these days, and this “problem” stemming from the water supply units up at Crabb’s is clearly an act of sabotage bordering on terrorism. Terrorists and gunmen will stop at nothing to gain power. Party faithful of the St. Peter Constituency, Stand firm!
Long time willikies barely get water. Never had water for a full 24hrs either…. 2hrs and at most twice a week. It’s ridculous. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS NOW! Meanwhile u have other places never without water. Like what’s the reason for the discrepancies! Something needs to be done!!!
Smh! It will never get better . We need a different water supplier. The prime minister , Ian Lewis etc. getting water every day so they care zero about us .
WI FED UP OF APUA..if we do gets water its 4hrs if we lucky enough , but if not its just 2hrs…but a big bill coming monthly. Right now its best they come n cut it OFF. Nonsense
Ok, I now understand. This is the reason why 5 Islands have been getting water once or twice per week for at least 2 months or more. APUA is definitely not ready.
And think of it; people can’t get water to wash their skin or cook, but a man was knighted for the outstanding work that he did at APUA. The bar is definitely set too low
Wait! People min actually deh ah get water???
Wake up people! Look at Heritage Quay. See all those ginormous cruise ships. They have equipment on board to make all the water they need. BUT! It is cheaper for them to buy the millions of gallons they need from Gaston & co. Do you seriously think that Browne is going to pass up on the opportunity to milk this cash cow for all it is worth by selling the people’s water supply to our revered guests. If you were paying close attention you would have noticed that whenever the cruise ships are in port APUA starts making excuses for why there is no water in YOUR pipe. You are smart! You can figure this out.
Obviously it’s about CORPORATIONS, not we the ppl. For decades there’s water issues even when there’s Reverse Osmosis Plants. That’s why Mother Nature keeps my Tank full
