Thank you for that very interesting article, Gail. WOW-lotsa money for water!!!!!
We are staying on the West End & trying to do our share to conserve by not wasting water while we brush our teeth, wash, & only flushing when necessary! This is a good reminder of something many of us take for granted. Thank you.
wata has been a big issue for us on the West End since the start of December........
some days no wata.......some days a trickle........and then some days or nights the wata flows.......
Negril seriously needs to upgrade their wata system..........
it is pretty antiquated for the local residents....
most resorts have their wata systems setup corectly so it doesn't affect dem at all.......
wata will be alright for everyone from around the beginning of May till December.....except for ATI in August
dat mi rant for da day......lol
Cool Runnings, Marko

Water was a slight issue when we stayed in December, early January; but apparently has become worse. That sure is a buncha cash! I've heard that water is the new oil, and, in Negril, it looks like that's true.
Thanks Gail for posting this thread!
