"No one recalls"? Of course people remember the water "lock offs" and "low pressure" on the West End. And it wasnt only during "high season". Those who live in the West End, as I have many times over the past 25 years I've lived here, cannot forget them. But that is history.Originally Posted by goldilocks
Years ago, in the 90's, before the "mains" were in place calling the water truck was a common event. The most recent water "lock offs" and "low pressure" in the past couple years were caused by changing of the "main" pipes and re-directing where the water source was coming from. That is why there were no real issues this year and a water truck was rarely seen because of the changes made for sustainable growth.
There is a limit to the growth, and it has been set at 4 storeys. Just look around Negril sometime. You will see many a building that approaches the 4 storey limit already. Now that there is an actual limit set, it is possible for sustainable, eco-conscious growth to become a mainstay in development.
As much as there are people who say they want things to be as they were in the "good old days", no water, no electricity and no phones were all part of those "good old days" (and I am talking the 90's)... I kinda like having drinkable tap water, being able to turn on a fan and making a phone call to find out what is going on... but that is just me... (grin)
