St. Maarten Private Eye

The reason we have little or no water is because Government needs to control other areas such as allowing private citizens to set their garbage and brush afire in residential areas. You are asking why I'm making his point I suppose?? Because then the other residents (not the person burning the fire, cause I guess they like their house smelling of smoke) have to wash everything in their house to get rid of the scent!! Some of these fires burn all day long, can you imagine! Most of the time they start them when your are not even home to close the windows etc. Government also needs to look into these water leakages that are caused when the water pressure does return to such an extent the pipes burst and these leakages go unchecked for days, even when our friends at GEBE are called (if you can get through to them, because as you know, they put the phone off the hook when they're tired of hearing from us customers). Just thought I would voice a little bit of my frustration...
