After I e-mailed 'Fidelis' someone called me on the phone a few days later to talk through my website problem. I've had my password reset and got one of my two new passwords sent to me in the post. The other is 'coming' - not good for those of us ... Read More

Water... by JWMapou

Anyone else got no water - or is it just us poor souls in Rose Hill? The fact that Rose Hill is the stronghold of the MMM is of course unrelated...

Joe Wilkinson

Incredible - we now have more than we've ever had. Good old Navin! Good old CWA! All is forgiven (until the next time...) Read More

Interesting reading - and well, a colleague was able to help me out Friday night by filling up our tank and on Saturday, lo and behold, Ramgoolam's spokesperson went on the radio saying he will be giving Rose Hill water - by 4pm we had more than ... Read More

Yes, good news! Ok, lets be realistic - we can't do much about the weather but for years consultants have been saying collect more rainwater from the hills, fix your creaking pipes, build another reservoir... My anger is borne out of my passion for ... Read More

Good old Radio One - they contacted my wife and they want to run a story...! We need to get this public - why is the press so quiet? Ok, this is the driest year in Mauritian history - even more reason to get the infrastructure sorted out as future ... Read More

Thanks for all of your advice people! Its clear its not just Rose Hill that has a serious problem - colleagues are telling me today about Pamplemousses, Pereybere, Mon Choisy... calls to fix leaking pipes and to build another reservoir have fallen ... Read More

Just seems to be rotten luck! Hit and miss... when the CWA are losing 50% of their water through poorly maintained pipes though, it makes you wonder...! Thanks for your concerns, but we plough on. It still hasn't dampened (excuse the pun) my love ... Read More

Still having problems! The CWA hotline tells us the tanker will be on Inkerman Street today but I'm having trouble believing them - a week of phonecalls and promises and still nothing, not even a trickle, not even after the 5pm 'switch on' ... They ... Read More

I read this morning Anwar Hussein Subratty has resigned as Chairman of the CWA! Good news... he'd only been told for the last five years he needed a new reservoir... I'm not demanding 24/7 supply - just more than a trickle in the morning and evening ... Read More

We're not even getting 12 minutes at the moment!! Having a shower in bottled water is a new experience though... Shouldn't they cut off the golf courses and the hotels first? Read More
