If you can’t give me the good life, at least fix my water problem

Sep 12, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
Permit me a space in your newspaper to express the discomfort that we residents of Melanie and Non- Pariel Community are facing since September 1st 2015. It has been 11 days since we got water!
In this day and age, water, which is a basic need, has been denied by us residents! Where are we heading in this country! How long does one take to remedy this problem that myself, and my fellow residents have been complaining repeatedly about to the Guyana Water Inc, Ministry of Communities, We even aired our concerns on a call-in programme.
This is our last straw, in addition to the much more frequent blackouts we have been experiencing.
Everyday I have to leave work early to go home and stand at my pipe to get the little drips, so that I can cook dinner, allow my children, husband and my elderly parents to have a bath with at least a half bucket of water! Plus, I have to fill from the drip drip water to store to do the same things all again in the morning. Yesterday it got worse. The drip drip water pressure was so low, I only got a drip at a time now! I was busy from yesterday at 5pm to 7pm to fill water to do my night routine and had to stay up the whole night up to 12:30 am to full water for the morning routine and storage in the essence that I don’t get water in the evening.
That’s my plight, as a wife, mother, daughter, resident and citizen of my country. I am calling on the management of GWI, Ministers of Communities and President Granger to please, if you can’t give me the good life, at least fix my water problem.
Resident of Melanie
