"....not able to cook or drink with the water..." according to the Govt.
This is beyond belief that common sense is that the cooking pots, glasses are commonly washed in the salty water and residue remains on surface of these pots, pans, knives, forks, spoons, glasses and these Govt Ministers ought to go into the kitchens of most homes.
Salty water coming into homes ruins taps, faucets, bathroom fixtures. Salty water ruins water heaters, clothers washing machines. Hot humid atmosphere salty water interacts with electricsl lights fixtures and erryting in the house. More concern is levels of salt in clothes washed likely giving rashes on people, babies skin going on non stop 5- 6 months now.
The Govt fully knowing the effects of salty water going on some 5- six months unable to have way safer is lot slower than blink of an eye in increasing Travel Allowances for themselves and spouse Travelling money to best drinking and dining on salty free water cookware and bathing less salty water and having bad hair days.

@Thisisours.Having selected the spot after EIA should be problems that cannot be remedied, depends on equipment getting mobilized. I believe skills and workforce exist in Freeport. Doing runway with all equipment is months. Airport perhaps two years. Stretches of highway needs raising higher. Causarina bridge likely needs reinforcing. The existing Airport still open to traffic until new airport. For me success begins with the Freeport workforce getting the first paycheck. A proper less prone to flooding and time consuming repairing equipment lights, electrics Airport is essential for the island.
