Sherlock Crescent suffering under NWC

THE EDITOR, Sir:
I saw recently in one of the dailies where Mark Barnett, president of the National Water Commission (NWC), was baking up a storm with his Christmas cakes. I applaud him because ladies always like to see men in the kitchen.
Mr Barnett, I would love to bake my cakes, too, this Christmas, but like last year, I am not sure if I will be able to do this because of the lack of piped water.
Sherlock Crescent in Duhaney Park has been suffering from frequent lock-offs for almost two years now, with no word from the NWC. Whenever we call, all the commission can tell us is that it is fixing pipes. What are you all doing? Building a pipe to Heaven? Because only God alone knows why fixing a pipe can take almost two years.
The water goes every day and sometimes comes back the following day, or late in the night, with low pressure.
Sherlock Crescent is not the only community suffering, yet the NWC doesn't even have the courtesy to speak with its customers to whom it is sending the high bills every month.
So, Mr Barnett, we, too, want to enjoy our Christmas, so give us some water so we can bake our nice Christmas cakes as well.
