Port Kaituma residents are indeed struggling for water

Jun 14, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
Reference is made to  an article penned by frustrated residents of Port Kaituma titled “ Port Kaituma struggling for water “ captured in today’s (June 13, 2015) edition of Kaieteur News.
As Port Kaituma continues to vastly develop, one thing is certain, the need for adequate infrastructural support for the growing population becomes paramount.  My checks have substantiated the writer’s comments, and I’m disturbed to know that, under the previous administration, two years have elapsed without the required repairs taking effect on this much needed pump. I understand that the current pump, which is operating at 1700 RPM has indeed outlived its usefulness carrying water for 2 miles from its location at citrus grove to Port Kaituma, which by itself is 1 mile wide. Furthermore, residents’ services are temporarily disconnected when schools in the regions require water.
It is an accurate expectation on the part of Port Kaituma’s residents to desire these improvements as mentioned in their letter. The Minister of Communities has heard your dilemma and will endeavor to correct, what is in my view, a terrible state of affairs.
Raphael Hazel
Ministry of Communities
