The irregular supply of water in Mahdia is frustrating
Dear Editor,
The irregular supply of water from the Salbora Reservoir to the Mahdia Community is frustrating. The erratic flow is socially and domestically inconvenient, moreso in this present drought.
The daily consumption of water is enormous, especially on the Plateau popularly known as the Hill Top, where the population is relatively high and where most businesses places are located.
After passengers have travelled many miles along the dusty roadway from Wisrock to Mahdia, they would like to bathe and also to wash their clothes. However water would most times be unavailable.
Apart from this, the water is needed to wet the roads so as to suppress the dust (a permanent health hazard) particularly where vehicular traffic is always constant.
Irate residents have voiced their disgust by blatantly saying that the only symbol that they will be voting for is H2O (scientific symbol for water) because without this essential and divine element life would cease.
The Mahdia Arcade dwellers are seriously pondering, should there be another fire in the Arcade, where they would obtain water quickly and abundantly to douse the flames.
Residents are imploring the authorities who manage the water distribution system to remedy this situation immediately.
