CitCo Ordered to Pay BWC $500,000

A Supreme Court ruling against the Belize City Council flew under the radar last Friday amid extended coverage of the Ebola scare.  Belize Waste Control Limited which has remained in constant litigation with City Hall over its unpaid garbage debt has been awarded a total of five hundred and twenty-five thousand, twenty-six dollars.  While arrears of some three hundred thousand dollars had been settled in mid-April, court action against CitCo continued, resulting in a hefty sum to be paid out to the sanitation company.  For each day the payment is stalled City Hall will have to shell out an additional eighty-six dollars and thirty cents in interest.
