WATER RELIEF.
I would instruct Minister Edghill to provide continuous water to those who have been without water for years, within 2 weeks. This is too long overdue. Approximately 90% of the cost, effort and time to get water to the reservoir in question, is in the trenching to get the pipes in the ground. That is why it is taking years to get this done. Quick relief can be provided by running water lines temporarily on the surface, and trenching at road crossings that do not have drainage culverts.
The BWA can contract several private sector construction companies to trench across all the required intersecting roads, install pipe sleeves, and then backfill the trench. A construction crew can complete at least one intersecting road in one night – hence the need for several contractors. Once people have relief, the BWA can then resume their slow-trenching to put the mains underground.

If I could be the Prime Minister for one day, what would I do? The following are nine decisions that I would make.
Volcanic ash.
First, I would instruct Minister Sutherland to publish a preliminary report on recommended uses for the volcanic ash, in ten days. We got ash in Barbados over two weeks ago, so this report is long past due.
The report should include a chemical analysis of the ash, using the massspectrometer at the Government Analytical lab. It should also include seven-day: tension, compression, shear, and absorption tests on a one lime: three ash mixture, using testing equipment at the Barbados National Standards Institution’s lab.
