BWSL Lays Off Temporary Workers

In the last two years, BWSL spent over five to seven million dollars replacing mains in municipalities across the country. This was part of the municipal development project and the street paving drive in the city. But now work in the municipalities has tapered off BWS has laid off at least 100 temporary workers. Chairman Alberto August told us that there were twenty additional groups of five men each working around the country to meet the massive request for work on the special projects countrywide. But now that they have been laid off, he says it is only temporary. August says BWS will soon begin a new round of works to connect 100% of the country to water mains and the workers will be re-hired for that.
