Water quality problem giving residents of Chesney/Kilcoy headache 

Dec 11, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kindly allow me some space in your newspaper for this letter.

I am writing this letter to highlight a problem that we the residents of Chesney / Kilcoy is experiencing with the poor quality of water, which we are getting from the GWI pump at # 4 Dam, Chesney South.

After writing numerous letters to your newspaper highlighting the poor quality of water, we were getting from the GWI pump which was located in the Fyrish cemetery, the government listened to our cry and built a mini-water treatment plant at # 4 Dam, Chesney South.

But lo and behold, since it was commissioned about seven months ago, we continue to receive water with high iron content. If you full a bottle of water and leave it for twenty-four hours, you will see about half inch of rust at the bottom of the bottle.

I went to the GWI office at Chesney and informed them about the quality of water and the rust content and they promised to flush the lines. I will not deny they flushed the lines, because I do not know, but if they did, there is no improvement in the quality of water. On behalf of the residents of Chesney / Kilcoy, I am appealing to the CEO of GWI, Mr. Shaik Baksh to look into this matter and get the experts to rectify this problem. After all, a water treatment plant should give us pure, treated water.

Hoping for a speedy response.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
 Imtiaz Bacchus
