Water bills delayed for May

The Barbados Water Authority has advised that there has been a delay in the preparation of the water bills for the month of May.

This delay is due to necessary upgrades which were made to the authority’s Customer Information System.

As a result, customers may receive their bills after the payment due date, and are advised to settle these balances as soon as possible.

Customers with a brought forward balance on their account, or those following a payment agreement should pay their bills promptly to avoid disconnection.

Persons may visit the Customer Service Centre at the Pine headquarters, The Pine, St. Michael, to make enquiries and payments.

Bill queries may also be directed to 434-4292, between 8:30 a.m. and 12 midnight every day.

Water bills may also be paid at SurePay, all branches of the Republic Bank (Barbados) Ltd., the Barbados Public Workers Cooperative Credit Union Ltd. and all post offices.

Online payments may be made via the Bank of Nova Scotia, First Caribbean International Bank and the Royal Bank of Canada.

The authority wishes to thank customers for their patience and understanding.

  • Bajans just watch your bills , don't trust them look out for a price hike...……..
    Bad management just management,, same old same old crap...……..

  • But what do you expect when you build the BWA'S HQ, complete with gym and all the comforts of home, or a hotel.

  • Why is it that we do not, or very seldom, hear of Light and Power's, FLOW's, Standards' or Massy's bills coming out late?

  • That was going to be my only comment. What arrogance. Send home the whole bunch of them.cannot get the bills out on time and then threaten disconnection. Have the poor people not suffered enough at the hands of this very badly managed and run public utility. If light and power tried that the outcry would have been immediate,and very loud. Tomorrow’s Brass Tack should discuss this.

  • There will be no delay in disconnecting your water service if you pay late, though

  • 'Here we go again, more hardship from the confusion. And these people have the balls to talk about disconnection, if customers do not pay promptly.
