Premier of Nevis, the Hon. Joseph Parry visited Choice FM’s popular radio program, Tell Me, to report to Nevisians on the island and abroad, about the accomplishments of the Nevis Reformation Party (NRP) led Nevis Island Administration (NIA).

Mr. Parry indicated that he was eager to touch on a number of issues that are interesting and current.  “I did promise to report to the people quarterly and I have been doing that on VON, NNC and in the various newspapers,” he said.

Premier Parry commenced his report on the subject of the water situation on the island.  He noted that last year the island had a water shortage around June, July and there were several discussions as to why there was a water shortage. He also indicated that this year, we are in a better position to provide more water to the island of Nevis. The Premier reminded radio listeners that we have been fortunate to have received some rain in November, December, January and February and although March was a bit dry, we did get a good bit of rain.

“We have to be aware that more and more water is consumed on the island and the government must do something about it,” declared the Premier. “We have engaged in a company called B.E.A.D to provide us with a new technology using wells and I am pleased to inform the people of Nevis that they have found two very good wells. One is in Barnes Ghaut which provides about one hundred and twenty gallons a minute. There was also one found in Maddens which provided so much water that the measuring tool that they had, could not handle the count!”
