POINTE BLANCHE:--- Minister of Public Health Social Development & Labor, Cornelius De Weever on Monday July 6, 2014 visited the Pointe Blanche tank area (harbour), where the foundation work for the second new water tank has been completed. The cast concrete works underwent a curing process. The assembly work of glass fused steel tank panels can start any time soon as all materials are on the island. Supplier Florida Aqua Store will send an assembly crew as soon as GEBE takes the necessary actions. The Minister is looking forward in seeing the tank completed before August 31st this year. Once completed the total new water storage capacity in the harbour area will be 2x3000m3, an increase of over 20% of the overall island storage capacity. A welcome addition considering the challenges we may face in the upcoming hurricane season.
