Natural springs are on SXM for sure, but they cannot be blamed all the time for the poor roads. WR and KOOP should take these springs into consideration when they are building the roads.
These companies have engineers and they know pretty well how to deal with natural springs.
Cole bay in front of AFOO EXTRA has a natural spring, no matter how often they pacth that road , it opens up into a cavernous fishing hole. Other areas of Cole Bay has the same problem but the fact remains that the roads are poorly built, sewage is running in almost every neighborhood, there are too many vehicules using SXM roads, including heavy equipment all hours of the day, so instead of looking for the scapegoat natural springs, can we please look at the bigger pciture here?
Is SXM catering to a heavily over populated island? what is the carrying capacity of the buildings? carrying capacity of the islands roads? carrying capacity of the ponds and lagoon?
The carrying capacity study has never been revealed to the public and the Island Council has never discussed this study, I even doubt if the opposition Island council members have seen it.
I am amazed that people still keep finding every excuse in the book to avoid holding their government officials accountable. maybe if they had proof how much money is being passed to Commissioners for every road built, every project realised they would see that government officials operate as a bussiness themselves for themselves.
