Dirty water running through taps at Stevedore Housing Scheme
Dear Editor,
I am writing again to bring attention to the ongoing issue of unclean water being supplied to residents of Stevedore Housing Scheme. Despite the implication in the previous reports and discussions with GWI response to my first letter that I was misrepresenting the situation, water quality has not improved. The water that comes through our taps, especially in the early morning hours, continues to be brown and visibly dirty. I sent a picture of the water to GWI.
Dirty water flows through the taps of a resident on Wednesday.
Here is a picture taken yesterday, Oct 29, which clearly shows the condition of the water. This is not simply an inconvenience — this is a matter of health. The water we are receiving is not healthy or safe for cooking, drinking, washing, or other household use. Many residents are forced to let their taps run for long periods in hopes of getting clearer water, leading to wasted water and higher water bills that many families cannot afford.
We are asking GWI to return to the community during the morning hours when the problem is most visible, instead of only visiting during the day when the water appears clearer. We need a real, lasting solution — not temporary appearances.
Residents of Stevedore deserve clean, safe water just like every other citizen of this country.
Sincerely,
Roshawna Pilgrim
Resident, Stevedore Housing Scheme

Take photos daily, every time the water runs like sewage flowing from the tap.
At the same time reporting to the Water Company and sending those DAILY
photos, STOP PAYING THE WATER BILL, OR BETTER YET, PRO RATE
AND PAY for the days you get good water. Take the DISCOUNT yourself.
