DOWASCO to rehabilitate water tank in Paix Bouche

Roslyn Paul is MP for Paix Bouche

Parliamentary Representative for the Paix Bouche Constituency, Roselyn Paul has announced that the Dominica Water and Sewerage Company (DOWASCO) is expected to spend $98,000 for the rehabilitation of the storage tank in her constituency in order to provide better water access for residents.

According to Paul there is an issue of irregular water supply in some of the areas in that constituency and based on assessment, she was told the tank actually needs some work and the system needs improving.

“I have since written to DOWASCO and had a meeting with the manager of DOWASCO and have the response right here regarding the Paix Bouche Water System,” she said at a recent town hall meeting. “Two solutions have been proposed, one short-term, so in the short-term DOWASCO is going to spend $98,000 to rehabilitate the storage tank…”

She continued, “My discussion with the manager indicated to me that they are preparing to undertake this works, and while they do that I have been discussing with the Prime Minister [Roosevelt Skerrit] the second action to be taken, which is to upgrade the Paix Bouche Water System to a tune of $1.2 -million.”

She went on to say that the Prime Minister has given his commitment, “so DOWASCO will be doing all the paper work for submission so that we can address this issue by the end of 2017.”

    Miss Paul is that you, this wonderful human person from paix bouche?
    How come you end up being in such a party with so many issues internally and externally?
    Imagine, you just became a pal rep and now you speak bout CBI as if you the patron Saint of Labour Party?
    Why do good n intelligent folks like you fall for worldly power and as a result ruin the sanctity of your souls?
    Ms Paul, any upright human person cannot be part of this regime.
    God is taking a close look at everything.
    Money for small business n look now building a Dammmm in paix bouche is headline news. Miss Paul will n come again, you are at the core a very lively, lovely, n blessed person, don’t lose your soul for mammon

    Personally, I think the public needs to know what type of work or rehabilitation does the water tank need. Is it corroded, rusty, rotted, broken or what? $98,000.00 could “probably” replaced the entire tank.

    Lets hope that repairing such tanks doesn’t involve fabrication by welding.

    hope that 1.2 million project involves condemning all those old rusty pipes and running new ones.

    I feel very uncomfortable that all projects nowadays are funded by the CBI. Either that this is making Dominica ridiculously vulnerable for overdependnce on such a voatile source of funds or these people are lying to Dominicans to win support for a program that has been run in a very corrupt manner..
    ..but father time has a way of putting everything and everyone in their rightful place!!..Jah guide!!

    Is it CBI money ? It seems Labour politicians have been briefed to say everything is being paid for by CBI these days.

    There we go again, this is an issue in Marigot since some hurricane years ago. I have made numerous phone calls to Dawasco and still no resolve .People please let us be fair to All . It’s a shame to know you cannot have running water in your home in Marigot in 2017. Thank God I can afford a water tank. My own money but most are not fortunate like me. Shame shame on DAWASCO help one help ALL.

    Please, don’t give that job to Walter again. Give it to a real professional, and forget about the politics.

    So what is news here? They \”WILL\” be addressing by the end of 2017 and plan on spending $98000 and that is news today? Almost 20 years under labor and you all have had that problem and now by promising to spend $98000 is news? Give me a break with all these fake news about promises all of a sudden. Promise is a comfort to a fool.

    SKERRIT and his cabal MUST GO!

    Assertive like the rod of Moses! :twisted:
