Hattieville inaugurates new water system
It was Hattieville’s turn to taste the flow from a brand new village water system. Doing the honours Thursday afternoon was area representative Ralph Fonseca. The hundred thousand gallon system serves over three thousand residents of Hattieville and surrounding areas and was built at a cost of five point six million dollars. Funds for the WASA project were borrowed from the Amtrade Bank of Miami and will be repaid through fees paid for the water by residents. Pipes should eventually be extended as far as the prison just north of the village.
