The water gushing into the gully at Swallowfield, not far from the National Stadium in St Andrew, has been ongoing for several months now in this prolonged drought. The matter was brought to the attention of acting president of the National Water Commission Mark Barnett several weeks ago in a Gleaner's Editors Forum. To date nothing has been done about it, as seen by this photo taken yesterday.
