Delices and the south east have been left in the shadows of the whole development process in Dominica,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the new system will economically improve\u00a0the life of \u00a0residents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey will have more time for economic activity, farmers can engage in productive enterprises such as vegetable production &#8230;you will have more<br \/>\ntime on your hand. The provision of this water system signals a new day for the people of Delices,\u201d St Jean said.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the toloma farmers can now take production to &#8220;the next level&#8221; with the constant water supply.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To improve quality of their products, farmers could use the new system to enhance well being. The new system will also ensure continuous water supply to Delices,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meantime St. Jean said when completed, the project will help alleviate the plight of the people, particularly the senior citizens, single mothers and students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will enhance the health of our people. This will ensure reduction in incidents of water borne diseases. We will enjoy a fuller and healthier life. We must raise our standards of living,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He said in this new development, it is imperative that sound conservation practices are practiced in order to ensure adequate and continuous supply of water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to avoid rampant felling of trees as this impact negatively on water table &#8230; farmers needs to ensure prudence and discretion in farming<br \/>\npractices. We must keep our water clean and avoid disposing garbage in our rivers, leaving our taps open and abusing the stand pipes for washing of<br \/>\nvehicles. If there is one community who knows what it is to go without water, Delices is that community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The ground-breaking ceremony is currently ongoing at Delices and DNO will bring you more from that ceremony later.<\/p>\n<p>Minister Reginald Austrie, \u00a0in delivering remarks, told the residents that the project will begin as of tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Parliamentary Representative for\u00a0Delices Petter St Jean says a new $3M water supply for the community will enhance the lives of the residents and improve their standard of living, since they have waited 15 years for this development.
