Government has announced restrictions on the use of water for the next two months.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Water Resources, Santia Bradshaw, says from Monday April 24th until June 30th the public will be required to conserve water.
Speaking during a news conference at the Barbados Water Authority’s headquarters, Ms. Bradshaw said the decision was made due to the severe drought.
She said the ban is temporary but people who breach it will be subject to a penalty of $500 or one month imprisonment.
