Your complaining about the local government and Americas Cup but you have no problem with your former government and $800 Million in unaccounted for money, or the $807 thousand that the former government paid to the Trustees of Sandys 360 , TWICE, and nobody knows where the money from the second $807,000 that was paid unintentionally went? Did you complain about $4 million for Beyonce to sing? How about the Faith Based Tourism scandal. How much spent on Grand Atlantic to sell just 2 condos , at a time when people were exiting Bermuda and condos were everywhere. Where are your comments about that?

Onion Juice, these stories can all be described as you said ” F!@#ing Pathetic”

Do some research. They don’t have tanks. They rely on water distribution from government.

Or maybe it will inspire others to help until the issue is resolved. Even the biggest community groups don’t have the resources to meet every need. Stop being negative. How much water have you given those residents?

Please also thank the taxpayer for funding the new pipes that are being laid to provide you with water.

Making sure that new pipes are being laid to prevent this form occurring again.

Real leadership is finding a permanent solution which is taking place in trenching and replacing all the old iron pipes to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.

If you truly cared you would’ve been around there much earlier as this problem has been going on for years.

While it is truly a generous gesture it is only a temporary fix. Unless you plan on giving out water to these folks each week.

This is awesome!! God Bless all of you!!! Thanks a million!!!
I live in the flat roof homes and we have our own tanks. Our water smells like the looks of the brown water. The moment you turn on the taps you can smell the water. They also told us it is safe to drink. When my grands were younger I would bathe them in the tub. And as kids they would always try to drink the water while splashing. Bad mistake. That made them very ill, gave them diarrhea. Very severe. Had to be taken to their pediatrician and was told they had a case of salmonella.

I just hope the people that needed got the water cause not all areas were having the problem I know I was not, I live Mary Victoria. But yes people have to remember the houses were built in 1972 not yesterday.

Great job by these organizations. Doing what the MP and the Government don’t feel the need to do.
Where is the MP on this issue anyway?

Awsome to see average Bermudians extending a heart of compassion in this economic climate, while our politicians boast about America’s Cup.

Everyone knows someone who lives or lived in Cedar Park. We have to show we care for each other. While that was a small jesture it went a long way.

Well done?

This is nice and all, but the water’s deemed healthy to drink…

Could have given water to the homeless, to starving nations. No, we’ll give it to the people who have (supplied) water.

On a side note; what ever happened to the affected residents water tank water?

I will like to say Thank You again. This really speaks a thousand words and shows that someone cares.

This has been going on for a while. The community has not seen anyone who is responsible for this problem or yet alone the minister or Mr. Smith come around to see if anyone needs or are Ok.

Or yet alone to even see this for themselves. So once again we would like to thank all who donated the water, and those who delivered them to our house we appreciate you guys and ladies.

Fantastic people and God is Good! This is Real Leadership, finding solutions to help those in need, instead of telling people its safe to drink!

Im confused? I was sure I heard in one of the radio news reports that they had solved the problem by running new pipe around the problem area(s). Did I hear wrong or did that only fix part of the problem?

A tremendous act of kindness, I would like to see more networking as well in this community, having use of the Prospect Primary School from time to time to share with area residents——first aid/cpr, life skills, health seminars, resume writing, how to seek redress on various matters. Perhaps there already exist a community action group at Cedar Park and another at Prospect. These soroties are folks who know folks who can make a bit of difference in some situations. Softball, basketball, chess, and a few other activities for our elderly as well.

This was an awesome thing to take part in. Some residents were in tears. Many saying how this would help them cook. I encourage all to do whatever you can to help our brothers and sisters!
