Water Authority

There is so much talk on the island following the announcement of an increase in Water Bills that may exceed 60%.. Businesses are already crying out that they may have to increase their products due to these increases. Imagine, a business has a water bill that represents 0.01% of their total expenses and the increase makes it 0.02% of their expense yet they want to increase the cost of their goods by 10% and more. Outrageous!

 

Water Authority

 

We went across the country

And there were many wastages to see

The Bajans were accustomed and to our surprise

Everyone had an acceptance in their eyes

Rivers of water flowed through the streets

And on the radio Brasstacks hosted many with inflated receipts

Utility bills gone up by 60 percent

The callers say they absolutely resent

Having to pay more money when they never fix

Out of order mains and burst pipes and like Authority tricks

Reservoirs run dry in spite of heavy rain

It’s upside down legislation on us again

This is a shame that we as a people can’t appreciate

You can’t waste the resource of water and then up the rate
