      The water has been off for days, not overnight. I would be happy to bathe once a day if the water ever comes back on.

    Taken from BVI Beacon

    “We pay Seven Seas for the possibility of producing up to 2.3 million gallons of water daily, which is just shy of $1 million per month, and then we pay them the going rate for the water they actually produce and sell to us; plus, we have to pay BVI Electricity Corporation for the electricity to the plant,” Mr. Rymer said during an Oct. 31 House of Assembly meeting. “There are times I wish I was there to negotiate this contract, for I can assure you that I would have had greater consideration for the taxpayers of this territory.”

    Lack of maintenance. Allowing equipment to break down also means more overtime.
