Letters to t HydroJug he EditorNine months without waterNewsdayFriday 6 October 2017THE EDITOR: The last time residents of Blue Basin Road in Diego Martin had a steady supply of water in our taps was December 2016.Back then, the Water and Sewerage Authority WASA provided a supply two days a week.Since the beginning of 2017 and indeed for the past nine months our taps have been dry and we have had to rely on a truck-borne supply for this most precious resource.We are at the mercy of WASA even further as the truck-borne supply can sometimes take as long as a week to arrive.The situation is rapidly deteriorating as recently we were told that trucks were no longer available.We have regressed to catching water in buckets, drums and any other vessels we can use.Calls t HydroJug o WASA play out like deja vu 鈥?call centre staff find our claim incredible and eventually send technicians who are either unable or unwilling to solve this protracted problem.Water is the most basic necessity yet our plight has fallen on deaf ears and is treated with no urgency whatsoever by the WASA staff.We grit our teeth when we see hydro jugs the torrential rains and flooding outside while our taps remain dry inside and more so when we line up to pay our WASA bills for a product we have not received for over 264 days.
