When will Section D Non Pariel be given water?

Oct 02, 2012 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
Sometime in 2010, roughly three years ago, the Ministry of Housing allocated house lots to individuals in Section D, Non Pariel, East Coast Demerara for residential purposes.
From then to now most of the infrastructure has been put in place, roads (made out of loam), drains, bridges and electricity. However, water, the one and probably the most important service which is necessary for normal human sustenance has not yet been installed.  All pipes and mains have already been laid about a year ago but no connection to a water source has been made. We, the land owners of this new scheme are pleading with the relevant authorities to hasten the process of getting water in our community.  It is extremely expensive to purchase water from private operators, as a tank of 430 gallons costs $ 4000. A family of four will utilize at least two of these tanks of water per week. At this rate, a family living here will have to be willing to pay at least $416,000 per year for water alone. This is almost the price we paid for a lot!
There are many homes which have already been constructed but are left unoccupied because there is no water. Additionally, many people would like to start construction but are deterred because of the additional cost that would be incurred to purchase water for building purposes.
