No Access to potable water in Good Hope Phase 3
Dear Editor,
I would like to also acknowledge the letter published Saturday 6th April, “No water in Phase 3 Good Hope”.
I started doing preparatory work to begin construction on a plot of land I was awarded from Ministry of Housing and water. However, due to the lack of water supply, I have to buy water every single day; sometimes two tanks. Mr Editor, I have already lost money and time, and now the contractor is threatening to walk off the job, since it is impossible to construct a concrete house with no access to water at in a timely manner.
I was told by an individual from GWI that the new scheme has not been handed over to the water company, hence they can’t do anything. I checked with the Ministry of Housing to ascertain why the delay in handing over the village to the respective agency. A young lady informed me that the Ministry doesn’t have to hand over the scheme, water pipes were already installed in the neighborhood and what I need to do, is form a group of ten villagers and seek an audience with GWI. Mr. Editor, I had to tone down this letter so that it can be published, but I am frustrated and disappointed, I hope something can be done as soon as possible or I will be forced to take the Ministry of Housing to court to reclaim my money.
Frustrated resident
