In hot water!

We have been watching some renos going on at a house across the street from the apartment. They are adding a bunch of square footage and a new swimming pool. The pool has just become the talk of the island.
We woke up Good Friday morning with the neighbor's house plastered all over the front page of the paper.
The country is in a severe drought. It has been a very dry dry season. WASA, the national agency responsible for all drinking water supplies is scrambling to keep up with producing drinking water while the country's reservoirs are slowly running out of water....and it hasnt rained in 75 days.

So when a WASA water truck showed up in the middle of the night to fill up the swimming pool with drinking water, it caught the eye of one of our neighbors who passed the information along to a Guardian reporter and voila - front page news.

The most interesting part of the story is that the renovations are being completed on the house so the new president of WASA can move into it.

He hasn't started his new job yet but when the renos are done, he might have the whole country coming over for a swim!
