That’s WASA water but
A) you really expect WASA to come and find you ?
B) even if they did the fine is like $75 or something so. Doh beat up

[redmanjp]

the rain water tank collects water from the roof -the water is not coming from any well so is not surface water.

I heard somewhere that once rainwater doh touch the ground it's NOT WASA water. perhaps a court ruling?

a) i have seen WASA police out a couple years ago making the rounds
b) neighbor in next apartment is ah police too and we done already doh be on speaking terms

[DMan7]

All water belongs to WASA, even your sweat. Doh study it.

[maj. tom]

WASA, Lake Asphalt to repair 9,000 leaks

The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) is promising to repair leaks in a way that does not create potholes.

This comes as the authority and Lake Asphalt TT (LATT) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) on Tuesday at WASA headquarters in St Joseph.

The agreement was described as a landmark step towards alleviating the negative effects of WASA’s leak repair programme and will break from the old method of using excavated material for repairs.

Now LATT will provide the materials for the repairs. The agreement specifies that LATT will back a large-scale road repair programme, tackling 9,000 projects initially.

It was signed by WASA chairman Ravindra Nanga and LATT chairman Neil Mohammed.

why not just change the attachment method that seems to be leak prone

How else would they have to return time and time again with overtime and more work for the contractor with the fluorescent lettering. All leak repair contracts have road restoration built in, but the kick back occurs when a separate road restoration contract is given out. Better yet, if the MOWT does the repairs, the contractor gets paid for nothing, with WASA manager signed off.

I just have to laugh.

Especially what went on in Sunkist, right in Kamla literal backyard.

Everybody from around there knows is a private sewer system, not WASA's. But this second time they recently started to protest, Gonzales immediately mobilise resources to help them. Even though is Moonilal safe seat.
