Diego Martin Mayor Akeliah Glasgow-Warner says residents in Carenage and surrounding communities endured weeks without water, prompting visits with Councillor Kevon Williams to seek answers about their supply.
Glasgow-Warner reported that repairs were underway at the School Street Pumping Station. She said outstanding repairs had affected residents’ water supply for more than a month.
Some residents subsequently reported water returning to their homes, she said. The account does not establish whether supply had resumed throughout the affected communities or whether the improvement was sustained.
Glasgow-Warner also alleged that a WASA official disrespected her and verbally abused her and Williams during their final stop in Tucker Valley. She said she feared the official might become physically aggressive towards Williams.
The mayor said she was broadcasting live and that viewers witnessed part of the encounter. The allegations have not been independently verified, and the post includes no response from WASA or the official concerned.
Addressing affected residents, Glasgow-Warner said the difficulties encountered during the visits had been worthwhile, pointing to reports of returning water and reaffirming her commitment to advocating for their needs.
The cause and extent of the shortages, the repair timetable and the status of supply across affected communities remain unconfirmed.
