VIDEO: More Than 100 Reports Later, Water Still Flows Through Hatton Road

Published

A Hatton resident is raising fresh concerns about what they describe as a long-standing water leak that continues to affect a community roadway despite repeated reports to the relevant authorities.

Photos and video sent to Antigua.news show water flowing along a damaged section of road in Hatton, with the resident claiming the issue has been reported more than 100 times without a permanent solution being implemented.

The footage shows water running across the roadway and through a series of potholes, while sections of the unpaved surface appear heavily eroded. Residents believe the problem stems from a burst pipeline in the area.

The ongoing leak has sparked concerns about the apparent wastage of water at a time when many residents across the island continue to face challenges with water supply. There are also fears that the constant flow of water is contributing to the deterioration of the roadway, making conditions increasingly difficult for motorists and pedestrians.

The resident who submitted the photos and video said water can be seen running throughout the day, creating a situation that has become a source of frustration for those living in the area.

The latest images have renewed calls for the leak to be investigated and repaired before further damage is done to the road and additional water is lost.

It remains unclear how long the leak has been active or whether repair works have been scheduled. However, residents are hoping that bringing renewed attention to the issue will finally result in action.
