WASA eyes commercial venture: Bottled water for all

[zoom rader]

Both Blue Waters and WASA get the water from the same place.

Therefore in another clarification of the obvious...blue waters is a model to sell water at a profit.

At source it's WASA water....blue waters pays wasa for it.

See if you can connect the three dots ....don't pull a muscle.

Ooh, stush insults!
WASA owns ALL water in T&T so Blue Waters is obligated to pay for it, so your point is moot. Also, Blue Waters has a well on their Tacarigua location that they get their water from, hence their claim to artisanal water sources. So if your sad ill-thought argument that "water is water", is mistaken.
If you'd care to take Le Hunte's dick out of your mouth for a second and realize that Blue Waters will NEVER agree to willingly dilute their brand, then you'd realize that you are talking sheit of the highest order.

Man have ah dick in he mouth

[Redman]

Yes they have a well..As do many private citizens and companies.
Same wells and in many cases same aquifers.

So as I said...BW is a MODEL that clearly demonstrate s that water can be sold at a premium.

Point out where I said anything about WAS A and BW forming a JV.

You need to focus less on man and their dicks and concentrate on understanding English.

Bro I dont know why you so emotional about this, but your emotions getting the best of you, clearly if you read the man posts you would understand what he saying.

Your posts regarding this WASA selling water thing starting to sound stupid and basic..level up your argument/point !

So loss making WASA is to invest in a greenfield bottled water plant? You're conveniently missing the point which I made originally, which is that WASA water will NEVER sell competitively. What is their advantage? Free feedstock? Better quality? What exactly will they edge out BW and Oasis with? The singular biggest drawback to WASA is that as a brand they have, and will always be synonymous with, low quality, dirty water.

Either you contribute an opinion/suggestion on the topic at hand. If it escapes your comprehension (as it obviously has), ask for clarification. Don't be a kant and jump in and start calling people names when you don't know what the fack we're discussing.

So what is you opinion on WASA as a bottled water producer?

[zoom rader]

PNM ppl don't think or have an opinion. They do as are told.

No, dese kants only know to bunch up when you criticize dey religion PNMism. Let us hear their opinion

And you ignored the rebuttal to your point from some one else regarding re branding. see the post regarding TP and Toothpaste.


while I disagree with the move-for the reason that I do not support larger govt, the idea has merit and is worth investigation.

and why not....??
They would be selling EXACTLY the same product as the other water producers.
its a growing market with a few large players.
Its a natural resource that is renewable.
There are regional opportunities
And frankly based on the WASA reality, a gallon sold at a profit is 3-5 gallons that we don't subsidize.
The initial investment ROI probably would be higher than anything else new that WASA can do.

All business should search for ways to get higher prices for their product

Despite my reservations,
I think the authority and its advisors should investigate the opportunity.
And should the data say go-execute carefully.

So on the other side of the coin, is the Government looking to implement any measure to promote collection of plastic waste for recycling? If it's a growing industry which is having a terrible impact on our environment hopefully this is something being looked at as well.

Put a 25c tax per water bottle that can be redeemed if returned to a recycling point would be a great start. Make the manufacturer pay the tax to the government and offset it with income from sales? That so hard to do?

EXACTLY!
On paper it might be a good idea but when you throw human behavior into the mix coupled with the fact that people have no choice but to pay water rates to WASA for a "reliable" supply of water.... there will be many reasons to boycott WASA bottled water especially "dey could geh clean water tuh sell we buh we ha to boil water from we pipe tuh use it". If they compete pricewise, they may have a chance but the opportunities for this is slim since as someone already pointed out, there are a few large players.... they can easily drop their price to destroy the financing of any greenfield bottled water project. If WASA acquires a plant.... maybe one of the players is delinquent wrt. payments to WASA.... they maybe able to circumvent this. Either way..... it's adding responsibilities to those who seem to be drowning with their current responsibilities.
If WASA was on top of their game, I would support the initiative.

BTW, since WASA owns all of the water in Trinidad and Tobago and we pay a water rate for that water, do we pay for the "water" of the bottled water or the filtration, bottle, transportation and operating costs?

Oh and Dragon, for the sake of a healthy argument, you really misunderstood redman's post.

[brainchild]

All this talk...let wasa bring out a 1.5L for $4 and we'll see who boycotting

[airuma]

I just read the first couple of posts in this tread- and then (skimmed) the last couple of posts --how the fork did it change so much, can people try not leave race, religion & politics out of at least one thread and just look at the thread for what it is and make make relevant statements that would lead to a proper discussion/debate?

We already trying to do that with the "Official 2018 murder count..." thread and it seems to be challenging!

So why can't a private firm do this? Can't they licence this out? Too many reckon government iz an answer.
