Help! We need water
published: Monday | August 16, 2004

THE EDITOR, Sir

THE WATER supply in Cassava River, Glengoffe, must be one of the worst in the entire Jamaica. For the last 15 years we have had to suffer severe water rations, sometimes receiving water only once per week, which is our current situation.

You find yourself accumulating one plastic tank after another just so you can hope to full up when water is available for the two or three fleeting hours on that particular day. Why can't The National Water Commission spend some money to upgrade its Soue River catchment plant to allow residents of Glengoffe and surrounding areas, and Cassava River in particular, to enjoy some semblance of civilised living conditions.

What is our Member of Parliament doing? Paying for water and getting it once or less per week is unacceptable and dishonest. We are asking anyone, anyone with the ability to do something to do it now.

I am, etc.,
