The Ministry of Health and Wellness has given the water in St Lucy the ‘all-clear’, and says residents can resume their usual use of the water from their taps.
It said that after conducting numerous sanitary water samples in the parish, the Environmental Health Department is “comfortable” and satisfied that the scrubbing and chlorination exercise conducted by the Barbados Water Authority was successful.
The ministry said the exercise yielded the desired results of rendering the water potable at the time of sampling. It further noted that both the clarity and colour of water samples in several areas of the parish have improved.
As a result, the Ministry of Health and Wellness, in conjunction with the Barbados Water Authority, has advised that the ‘Boil Water Notice’ which was previously issued has been removed.
