castlegrantA good indication of quality management of any entity is to examine the physical infrastructure (as one example) for which said management is charged. The state of the condition of the entity in this case should raise an alarm when the infrastructure under scrutiny is the national water generation and distributions read Castle Grant reservoir.

It gives Barbados Underground little comfort to publicize this matter BUT there comes a time when obvious years of neglect give the civic minded little choice.

This is the condition of a reservoir managed by the Barbados Water Authority.

    Now to address this bullshit about how the issue is being politicised. Who makes the decision to allocate resources to the BWA as one example? Who made the decision to build a palace on the hill? Who lead the press conference a few months ago and made up to now unkept promises to the country? Why didn’t Estwick let the engineers address the public? The politicians have politicised this matter like every issue in Barbados these days.

    When I was a boy,young lad, man, living in Jemmotts Lane, I used to have to walk to the pipe and bring buckets of water. You have difficulty getting water now, do you think it will last forever? It takes time to rectify the deficiencies. Watch CNN and learn.

    At primary school we used a locally produced white backed book in which it stated that the rainy season in Barbados is May to October and the average rainfall is 60″.

    Alvin…I am saying that the government the people in St. John have voted in for 50 years…have deliberately and maliciously kept them backward, ignorant and poor….to be used only as voters to ensure they are elected.

    The people in St. John say this themselves, if you show your evil face in St. John.., the people should stone you and chase you back to Canada Alvin.., you vile scum.

    What is a burning shame is that the BWA cannot even fulfill a simple promise to the residents.

    They installed temporary standpipes and cannot even keep them fill so that those who are able to can collect some water. I live in the south and we were without water for about six hours recently……..even though I always keep some water, I felt so out of it after a time so I can very well understand what those folks in St Joseph are going through and not a word from the man whose only point to life right now is to be PM of this country…….but we reach 50 years and we are to be proud and wrap ourselves in the flag.

    What a burning shame in 2016!

    Roy and (Biased Bull… talking)David,

    As I said: “‘Underground”…Water main from Newcastle (Blue) leading into the PUMP HOUSE at Cattle Wash ( which you referred to as the RESEVOIR, and specifically drew my attention to “…note where the pumping house is located.”) leading to the St. Elizabeth water tank (closed system partially underground (blue) and then distributed to individual homes. I was not wrong when I pointed out that what was portrayed would have been the pumping rooms, where the pumps would have been located.

    Well Well

    Prodigal son,
    I live in Toronto. We have had to do without water sometimes when they have to do plumbing repairs. You are told you will be without water for the entire day. If there is a storm; winter or summer, and the electricity goes off you do without water until the electricity is restored. The last ice storm we had we were without electricity for three weeks, and it was the christmas season. Electricity only came on Christmas eve day in my apartment building. Other people had to wait longer. My apartment building is 17 stories tall. Elevators were not working so you had to walk up and down the stairs all the time. You just have to wait until the repairs are finished.

    Here is the scenario.The choice is between upgrading your product or building a new headquarters.Most would determine the urgency of the projects and most would choose to upgrade the product.One is not surprised that the DLP fatted calf brigade would choose the building of a new headquarters.Hence the confusion that has resulted in the people of St Andrew,St Joseph,St Thomas,St John and parts of St James having water horrors.Imagine if you will certain parts of St Josep not having water since last November?That is outrageous.
    The minister,the chairman and the board should be dismissed and Mwanza return to his substantive post and a competent General Manager appointed.I cannot understand how an 81 year old can find employment at such a critical and dynamic institution as the BWA.It is a 24/7 special and professional skills service provider for heavens sake! What is Atlee Bthwaite doing there?As I recall he did Agri Econ.

    To give the BWA its due, security is pretty tight at the Pumping Stations. They have relatively good security fences, and alert security personnel.
    I would hope that this BU exposure would prompt the BWA to carryout some needed maintenance on its reservoirs,and beef up security.

    You are becoming mixed up with the arrangements at Castle Grant reservoir and the system in the drawing at Cattlewash. What you see at Cattlewash is a pump house which pumps water to a holding tank at a higher elevation at St Elizabeth. A sort of booster system.

    Colonel Buggy,
    Compare the building shown with what was used at the Pine
    ………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
    The BL&P building may be in the region of 170 years old. The BWA ‘s old vacated office building in the Pine is some 50/60 years old. The White House in Washington is 224 years old. Buck House in London is 313 years old. The National Insurance building on Fairchild Street is some 41 year old. Its not hard to work out which of the fore mentioned building were never maintained.

    ……minus 37 or 47 degrees constitutes an act of nature…not the inaction of incompetent, lazy politicians…on a tropical island that has no winter weather. …there is no comparision to what is being done by the leaders…to the people, whose votes the useless politicians need.

    Miller,

    You say: “…a now fully–owned and controlled foreign entity.’

    If I am not mistaken, shares in Barbados Light and Power were traded freely on the Stock Exchange, so any one could have moved to acquire shares (all if they wanted) in it.

    Who owned the Majority shares in Barbados Light and power before the offer to purchase from Emera?

    Wasn’t Emera entitled to offer to purchase the outstanding shares of Barbados Light And Power, after they had acquired 90% of the shares, and force those shareholders to sell? Isn’t this what happened to the outstanding shares of the Barbados National Bank?
    Didn’t they have a right to enforce this option, forcing the government to sell its shares?
    Doesn’t Emera own other entities in other Carom countries?

    What percentage of the total electric bill for the BWA (not just the office building) is paid monthly by the BWA?
    The presence of Solar panels would only cover the cost of almost all the electricity used by the BWA offices, although I have to agree that the government should have insisted on the provision of Solar electricity for the building. It does not have to be ON the building but should be incorporated in the infrastructure.

    @Watchya
    I’ve always been sceptical of the BWA’s water bowsers. First of all they should be made of stainless steel, since they are delivering potable water,and have removable access hatches to facilitate the cleaning of the interior.Potable water tanks should not be made of common mild steel which is susceptible to rust. I’ve seen one of the BWA’s water tankers, which started its life as a tray on a dump truck for transporting sand and marl, modified with an upper cover section. I shudder to think what may be inside of some of those tanks and the attached hoses and pipes.
    And equally is bad, is seeing one of the tankers attendants having a leak under the truck.

    “Wasn’t Emera entitled to offer to purchase the outstanding shares of Barbados Light And Power, after they had acquired 90% of the shares, and force those shareholders to sell? Isn’t this what happened to the outstanding shares of the Barbados National Bank?”

    It is precisely because of the sale of its share holdings by the National Insurance Board of Directors under the political directive to do such in order to prop up the foreign reserves position at year end that allowed Emera to be able to invoke such a right to compulsorily acquire the remaining 10% minority holdings.

    Same thing happened in respect of the National Bank. The government sold its 35% (or thereabout) holding in order to get foreign money in exchange for a mess of birthright pottage to make the foreign reserves position look good for year-end reporting.

    And both of these calamities of the selling off the country’s birthright or navel string happened during the rule of the present administration.

    Now don’t come with any looking back crap about the BLP administration sold the BNB. OSA might have started the BNB sell off after you Bajans refused to buy the same ‘national asset’. But the current administration had the opportunity to not only retain a sizable share ownership in a turnaround profitable bank but also the opportunity to buy back (compulsorily or otherwise) the same bank. What went wrong here, Alvin?

    Well Well,
    Acts of nature are not the only reasons we have power failures in Toronto. And in any case In Barbados Gas is the major energy source for cooking. In Toronto EVERYTHING depends on electricity.. As you say “ya freeze for days before it’s restored……” As I said its not only freezing that matters. How many people there have to climb 17 floors,or more, to get to their rooms.
    The comparison is that they still have two major parties, like us, and they learned their Democracy from us.

    On my mind is the back and forth going on between the minister of Finance and the NUPW who states that they have a right to direct govt how to protect its borders.
    I believe that all countries have Ministers of National Security and advisers who give govts such directives as they are the ones privy to the security intelligence which will give the govt/s an overall perspective towards the management and security of the country
    However i maybe wrong as The leadership of the NUPW states that the union voice cannot be disregard when govt makes proposal on matters that best served the National security of the country,
    For what it is worth i am of the understanding that the national security of a country cannot be comprised or serve on the disguise for that which is best served in the interest of the employee but on the intelligence gathered that would better served the overall best interest of a nation
    Therefore unless the NUPW has better information or security intelligence purposed as a guide to which they can hold fast that the custom officers would be at a disadvantage to the overall national security of the nation if changes are made ,, then their argument is not only obstructive but a refusal which only serves or represent a few

    I wonder who Michael Lashley blames for the deplorable state of the Transport Board and BUSES, while he is shifting blame, he should name those people while he is at….

    Alvin…it’s not an everyday, every week or every month occurrence in Toronto, in the summer ya get heavy rainstorns that put out the power…Toronto has a population of 2.7 MILLION people, that’s a lot of homes to restore power…at 243.3 square miles. …spread out in vast areas….Barbados 166 sq miles with 275,000 people…there is no comparision.

    In 2003 ee exprienced a rolling blackout from the grid in Canada, it rolled from upstate straight into NYC and down to Florida. ..Mathattan was total chaos, we left the city after 5pm and did not make it to where we lived at the time to nearly midnight….7 hours of walking….you should try walking acrosss the Brooklyn Bridge in the dark with millions of people, a bridge designed for trucks, not synchronized walking……it was swaying across the river for miles.

    Walking up or down 17 storeys in Toronto is nothing. …if it was 103 storeys during 9/11 bombings, that maybe worth talking about…suck it up and stop being a wuss, I have no sympathy….you may nit get that kind of exercise again for years.

    What makes you think Barbados does not have electric stoves as well, many people do and are equally inconvenienced when electricity goes, not everyone lives in the backward world you fantasize for your fellow bajans.

    Tron…..Alvin is merely an uninformed political pimp and yardfowl, nothing more, but a lot less….he does not even live in Barbados to experience the incompetence of his own government, the slightest thing happens to him in Barbados….he runs back to Canada….his only authority to speak is as a yardfowl.

    The blatant stupidity has reduced the island to this state.

    You would discriminate against other small islanders, who have status in Barbados, from ckearing their imports of food and fresh fruit, which benefits you and your children healthwise. These other islands have fruit growing by the side of the road, anyone can pick a fruit daily to eat in those islands, you cannit because you do not grow fruit and your food source is limited, by your own choice……when you wilfully and maliciously, as a customs officer or other port worker hold up the ckearing of fresh fruit and vegetables, you cause your own people to suffer health problems…you spite yourself. Your minister orefers import garbage from outside the region.

    With that mentality is anyone surprised at the rate of NCDs and sudden deaths on the island…not me.when did it become ok to prevent fresh fruits and vegetables to be cleared at the port.

    Insurance companies should not be allowed to refuse to pay claimants even after a judgement…no claimant should have to wait longer than 30 days for his/her money, the nastiness called an insurance industry in Barbados refuse to pay years after a judgement….and they are enabled by the governments.

    After 30 days…claimants with judgements against insurance companies have all rights to expose the nonpayment of their claims in the newspapers and on the blogs, let everyone know they refuse to pay your your money so that stooges like Randy Graham from FSC cannot show their faces in the newspaoers telling lies and misleading the public about the crooks in the insurance industry who refuse to pay claimants…let the region and the world read about their dishonesty and lies.

    And the fowls of the BLP clan are no different.

    Certainly there must be a point at which a present government accepts all the history, good and bad, of the country as its own.

    This circular logic as posited by the simpletons above is tiring and seeks no trajectory beyond the yard of the DLP headquarters in Belleville.

    2. “…What you see at Cattlewash is a pump house which pumps water to a holding tank at a higher elevation at St Elizabeth. A sort of booster system.
    You ent sham.

    Alvin I do not know how simple that I can put it to make you understand. No wonder we have so many problems in government in terms of engineering. Do you know the differences between and Ass and a Mule?

    All Barbadians should by now realize that its not only the St Joseph people that this government cares not a rat’s arse about, but the rank and file Barbadians all across the island. If you happened to be fortunate to be receiving and uninterrupted supply of water, give thanks to the politicians and big ups, who live ,not among, but beside you.

    Also ad the Barbados Public Library. Saw a person at Massy’s Supermarket (Big B) asking for donations to refurbish the Public Library Carnegie Building.
    Look wuh we come to nuh? Paying high taxes,and still begging. But do not blame the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Education, or the Minister of Transport and works, or the Minister of Housing or even the Prime Minister for the prevalent mendicant situation we now find ourselves. NOT ME! NOT ME!
