Water from new $104M well unfit for consumption, Canefield residents say

A bottle of water a Canefield resident filled from his pipe yesterday. In addition to the discolouration, the water contained a lot of sediment.

Residents of Canefield, East Canje are grateful for the new $104M well station that was commissioned in the area on Wednesday, but say the water flowing from it is “not fit for consumption.”

The well, which is estimated to benefit 14,000 residents, has a depth of 750 feet and the capacity to produce 180 cubic metres or 90 black tanks of water in one hour,
