And all we get is empty promises. For a country with 365 rivers, we can&#8217;t have a continuous water supply, not even for one day! You wake up in the morning to get ready for work, no water.<\/p>\n<p>You use up what you have collected from the rain, in hopes of having water to bathe when you come home. You leave the dishes and bathroom as is, hoping for water to clean up with after a long day. But when you arrive back home after a hard day, again no water!<\/p>\n<p>So what options am I left with? The routine of the neighborhood has become to get up after midnight to clean, wash up and store water for the next morning&#8230;.because that is the ONLY time we have running water!<\/p>\n<p>Now, imagine if you happen to have to get some rest and you miss your midnight wake up call, the next day is even worse! Does our water have a full time job? It leaves early in the morning around 2am and comes back at midnight.<\/p>\n<p>And to make things even worse, we are still getting charged our flat rate of $25, and for what I ask? For the meter to sit in our yards getting no use? We are literally getting robbed.<\/p>\n<p>We need help! Is there anybody who can please help?<\/p>\n<p>It just makes me so angry that I have to pay $25 for water that I don&#8217;t even see!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dear Editor, It&#8217;s time someone shed some light on what&#8217;s been happening to us in the Calibishie, Savanne Paille area.
