Tiyan resident not buying into GWA privatization
The Consolidated Commission on Utilities and the Guam Waterworks Authority have a busy week ahead of them as they seek input from the community on legislation to privatize GWA. And while both the CCU and the water agency are confident the privatization is a positive outlook for the future of the island, Tiyan resident Juan Taitano believes otherwise.
He told KUAM News, "We shouldn't be selling off our resources to an organization or a company that's just going to make money off of something that we should have developed since World War II in the last 60 years on this little island." Taitano, who is a farmer and an aquaculturist, goes on to say that the island's water resources should remain under the control of the government, but adds that it would only happen if the administration got its act together and end the bureaucracy over the issue.
He theorized, "We're not sending a man to the moon; we're just getting water from the ground. Collect it, getting it cleaned up to utilize other than to wash themselves and to give the consumer."
