With no end in sight to the water shortage from which New Providence has been suffering for the past two months, anger is growing among residents of the capital, with one school describing the lack of water as a public health risk.
As the shortage of water supplies continues to cause major inconveniences for families throughout the island, calls for a full and frank government statement on the matter are increasing.
New Providence has been subject to water shortage since the Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne left the wellfields in Andros contaminated last September.
A lack of rainfall and continuing mechanical problems with the two transport barges and the Windsor Field Reverse Osmosis plant have added to the situation.
