Billions of dollars on water, and all you get is a trickle

Dear Editor,
Every day people living in Guyana are crying due to this economic hardship that is facing them here. After so many years under the PPP/C governance, amidst their boasting, one would expect life to be better, although proof of corruption and their incompetence are being exposed daily, especially by the two independent newspapers.
Only recently GWI started a country disconnection against customers who have not paid their water bills. I have no problems with that, by why must residents be forced to pay for water which they are hardly getting. Recently the disconnection team was at the Uivtlugt sideline dam and they started to cut people off, which caused the majority of the residents to rush and pay their bills.
Now Sideline Dam has approximately sixty (60) houses, and not one resident could say that water pressure reaches their receiver or shower. Apart from that the water hardly runs, and when it does, some houses get it in a trickle causing residents to open the joints and put buckets or bowls to catch water, or use water pumps, thus adding another financial burden to them.
What I just mentioned is not strange, most villages you could hear people complaining of the same dilemma, although you could hear of this government spending billions of dollars on water supply, which I think is only servicing them.
