    Find out how much a proper water tank and pump would cost and set up a fundraising page just for this purpose I’m sure lots of your subscribers would contribute to get you a long term emergency solution.
    I pray your water returns real soon. Much love. X

    You should install some guttering and lead the water into the barrels. I did some guttering and have 5 of the same blue drums that is 270 plus gals of water from the roof alone. And you can use it to cook as well after you purify it. Make a privacy screen and catch a shower under the downspout. Chile, you have fit tun han mek fashion. No joke.

      Praying alone never help. The Bible theachcthat after you are done praying you get up and work on the problem/situation. So the lady can help herself by getting some tanks and direct the rain water into those tanks. Or she could do what I saw done in Kenya, build some in-ground or elevated thanks and direct the rain water into those tanks. The government has failed the people. It's time the people take matters in their own hands and start coming up with real solutions. If they don't know how to get started, they could try searching utube for answers.

    When the water comes back usually when people are asleep you have to rush and fill up buckets&barrells and water containers and your doing a good thing with rainwater...collect it for wash dishes,flush toilet and put containers like pots directly outside on something high with no trees around for drinking water.... When times get worse we Jamaicans will already be prepared...One Love....

Once you activate your faith, God begins to work in ways that you wouldn't even imagine ! Bless up my sister !

    Shame on the Govt of Jamaica for not attending to this critical need of the citizens 🙁. I bet you all the hotels have water 💦 tho, but not the regular citizens. You and your neighbors should start a letter writing campaign to the water company, your councillors and the Prime Minister. This is unacceptable and going on for waaayy too long. Praying for you Aunty Debs 🙏🏾

    Hi ms Debbie i live in the Kgn;8 are so we get water from the constant spring plant! And its from last year December we are experiencing water problem! And every month we have to pay nwc water bill for what, i dont know. And when we go to the nwc office to report our situation, the customer service rep; tell us what they feel, so we just have to pay and have no say!! It's sad and the government and opposition party care nothing about the Jamaican tax payer. We pay tax and don't know what or where our money goes!!??

    Maybe you and the neighbors can rally and go down to your city hall to inquire about what’s going on? There is strength in numbers!

    Where I'm from in Portland we suffer the same water problem, thats the way we do our drums. You have to set up some gutters so the drums can get a better catch, when you get a tank it will be much better. I think the piece of cloth is too thick though. Continue do your thing you are smart and you will survive, in JESUS name.

    I do hope you got and get all the water you need - The Government need to fix up though - how can Jamaica be the land of wood and water - yet still in 2019 they have not set up a system whereby the citizens of Jamaica can have a consistent water supply throughout the country. My Father and Grandmother were in beautiful Westmoreland in the countryside and had to have water tanks with pumps to try and maintain a supply to their homes. The Jamaican gov really need to value the citizens more. Debbie and your family - God Love all of you - try and keep your spirit upbeat, you really are trying hard in a difficult situation.

Seriously, have you spoken to your neighbors about this? Maybe a line is broken but you should be told something. I'm happy y'all manage to laugh to keep from crying.
