lol on the ad,....really funny actually that someone had the sense of irony to publish it.
I am always flabergasted at the water situation in 'de west. I lived in the Valley (Petit that is) for 30 years (yes, I'm old!) and moved out to Chaguanas some time back. In my current pad, I have NEVER been without water. Of course, we've got a water tank and pump and I'm sure water has gone for short periods but never long enough to run out the tank. Far cry from the 'upscale' West where we always had to keep the ubiquitous bucket handy.
I went by my folks in the Valley on Christmas day and guess what happened to them on Christmas eve night...no water AND no lights (another uncommon occurence where I live in Chaguanas)!
Anyway 'scene, I can tell you had a happy christmas anyway so have a SAFE and happy "OLD YEARS" night (doh boder with them yankee an them).

oh gosh NO ....... dey get de double whammy fuh Christmas ..... no water AND no current ...... so I guess I should be counting my blessings then ....... cuz so far ...... is only de water ting I battlin ......

The PM got his scars in Cuba while we are scared every day right here in sweet TnT. When a reporter asked the PM why he didn't do his operation in Trinidad the PM said "Like yuh want mih tu dead." The reporter replied "No comment."
Most of us wouldn't clean house properly if it wasn't for Christmas. In your case, Boxing Day
Kelvin and Sons might be trying a "fas one." I doubt their name carries any significant weight in the fabrication community. It's an innovative ad though.
I understand the reason many people are not getting water in some areas is that the water has to be redirected to a person, or some people with political clout. Trace your water line and you may find out the real source of your water problem
Overheard at the liquor store:
Woman: Does the Big Black Dick come in a box?
Sales Clerk: I hope so.
