As far as I can recall, every Minister of Works, whether PNM, NAR, UNC, PP, came into office with the mantra that WASA must repair all roads immediately after carrying out its pipe repairs.
Having lived in this country all my life, I can safely say that WASA has never lived up to this basic expectation. I can also safely say that this undertaking will never happen in my lifetime.
In fact, I wish to recommend that WASA prints and put up the following vision statement in all its offices and work centres: "WASA means to dig and leave."
