Rudolph Roberts is pleading with the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) to change a broken and corroded pipeline to his home.

Roberts, of 14 Bagatelle Road, San Juan, said he has not been receiving water since last October after the pipeline connected to his home accidentally broke. He said WASA workers were putting down a water main in the area when the accident took place.

He said although he reported the problem to WASA nothing was done and he said he was tired of complaining to them.

Roberts, who is confined to a wheelchair, said he was grateful to his neighbours for giving him water. “It is an inconvenience for my neighbours. All I am asking WASA is to come and replace the pipeline.”

Hotline spoke with an official at WASA’s corporate communications department who said Roberts was contacted and was assured that the pipeline will be replaced.
