DePeiza, taking up St Lucy’s plight, calls for desalination Article by May 4, 2021 President of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) Verla DePeiza on Monday urged the Government to seriously pursue water desalination as a meaningful solution over the short, medium and long term for the residents of St. Lucy, whose votes she intends to seek as a candidate in the next general election. DePeiza declared St Lucy folk have been forced to contend with dirty water or none at all for years. She made the appeal while delivering cases of potable water to the constituency’s residents a little over a week after expressing her desire to represent them in Parliament.
