The Prime Rate — the rate applied to many credit cards, home equity loans, auto loans, etc. — in the U.S. currently is 3.25%. The Bahamas is borrowing at 9%? Gosh ... it’s encouraging to know that they’re “concerned.” Uh ... “concerned.”
Good grief, right now you could get a better loan rate from a carnival barker or a mafia thug.
I agree ... our old home had 3 cisterns with catchment connection ... but in the dry season, that didn’t meet the need, even as we were careful with water usage.
Uh ... if a customer on Eleuthera fails to pay their water bill, W&S sends a crew out to shut off their water. Period. Now, when W&S fails to pay its bill, and the water supplier does the same, the government is outraged!
My water bills there normally were $70-$80; I once received a bill for $637 — and when I questioned it and tried to get an explanation for such an outrageous bill, W&S simply came to our property and shut off our water, forcing me to pay up ... a clear form of extortion, and W&S never was able to justify it, repeatedly refused to provide an explanation. It was theft and extortion, plain and simple.
I certainly sympathize with the people of Central Eleuthera who were without water, as I’ve been in their shoes during the many long periods when the water system simply didn’t function. But, believe me, W&S is hardly blameless here. On Eleuthera, they’re practically a criminal enterprise.
Meanwhile, central Eleuthera has been without water for a week, everything shut down — including the health clinics, while Covid cases are spiking there. No story in the Tribune — their staff is too busy giving us the latest details of professional volleyball in Romania and Finland.
