The Barbados Water Authority (BWA) is working on improving the water distribution network in St Peter, with mains replacement on the cards though some works have been delayed.Director of Engineering Charles Leslie told Monday’s St Peter Speaks town hall meeting at the Alexandra School that while some residents of the northern parish may experience discoloured water and other issues with supply, the BWA had been continuously working to rectify the situation from 2019 when the main reservoir in Boscobelle was replaced.“The reservoir we had there before, the structural integrity of it could not withstand a major hurricane so we had to replace that. That was there from the 1970s; then what we have been doing systematically and strategically is replacing mains, but we obviously have to be prioritising the mains replacement effort,” he said.“There are a number of other mains like in Centipede Alley and other areas [like] Cave Hill that we have earmarked for replacement.”

And I am saying it understanding that sometimes when you appear to offend somebody you can end up getting a backlash. But I am putting all of them on notice, this Member of Parliament is not going to be accepting no backlash. And so what can be done ought to be done.“There is no reason why I should be driving throu
