![]() The contractors are there, the road will soon complete and NWC is going to come and dig up that road,” charged Samuels, in reference to work being carried out on a roadway in Pell River. “We made the sacrifice and got the cussing from people and this is what is happening to us now. We don't clean any drains for six months just to get the monies to do rehabilitation work on the different roads within our divisions that were well in need of repairs. ![]() “What the councillors have done is to give up all their allocation. Samuels was leading the charge as members of the Hanover Municipal Corporation chided the NWC for what they claimed was its failure to have leaking pipes repaired and in one case, failure to provide water to one community for the past 25 years.Īccording to Samuels, leaking NWC pipes are underneath the main road in the town of Lucea causing damage to the road surface and in some cases, when repairs are done by the water commission, the road surface is poorly covered with marl.Īlso of concern to the mayor, and other councillors, was the slow response of the NWC to calls to have work done on pipelines before major rehabilitation work is carried out on roads in some sections of the parish. ![]() LUCEA, Hanover - Mayor of Lucea Sheridan Samuels has blasted the National Water Commission (NWC), describing the State-owned entity as “a menace to the society”.
