Water and school update.


Word is that the workers have located the leak in the main, with luck they could have it uncovered some time late this afternoon. With more luck and hard work it could be repaired this evening.

Pictures show the location of the work to the school, plus the length of trench dug to locate the problem area, no mean feat in these conditions.

Also on the go: The high school kids did not stay in school long, mid morning about 20 or so students were out with placards parading around town, the community government office, radio station. Some of the students were invited into the radio station to give an interview, it’s not been aired yet but one of the issues is the claim that the bathrooms are a health hazard.
I scuttled down to get some picture of the protesters, but, seems they had all gone home for lunch.

If the water line is fixed it should not develop into a big issue, then again.

AFTERNOON UPDATE:
The youth are out, refueled and rear'n to go. They are walking around town with some placards and chants, the group is growing minute by minute, about 40 when I passed them on my way home from the NMC, the pictures were taken earlier near the fire hall and Northern store.
I asked them what the problem was, "one bathroom for all the students and staff", stinky boy". Plus there is is very limited water as mentioned earlier.
