PORT MARIA, St Mary — After months of pleading for attention to be given to the decrepit and unsanitary condition of a water source provided by St Mary Municipal Corporation, Councillor Hugh Bryan (Jamaica Labour Party [JLP], Annotto Bay Division) has warned that he will not take responsibility if residents become seriously ill.

“Each time I come to council meetings or the infrastructure meetings, I bring up this situation and no one can give me an answer,” Bryan complained during Tuesday’s meeting of the corporation’s infrastructure committee.

Mayor of Port Maria Fitzroy Wilson commiserated and said he, too, was disappointed but had no solution to offer.
