ADNews-Monrovia, Liberia: The Red Hill Community Water is God’s gift to Red Hill Community. For those who think it just happened I wish to humbly say, the Red Hill Community Water is a fruit of prayer and fasting.
If God had rejected my prayers, I would not have got the money to pay for the construction of the Red Hill Community Waterline.
Because this waterline is God’s gift to Red Hill Community, I pray We, the People of Red Hill Community, remember how we suffered for water on this rocky hill before I got the money to build the waterline. But I am not getting water.
After everything failed, I asked God to equip me to bring water to my community, Red Hill Community, Johnsonville Township. The Lord God answered my prayers. In June 2017, pipe borne water began to flow in Red Hill Community, Johnsonville Township, Montserrado County. To God be the glory!
Since the Lord God was merciful to me and granted my request, and I got the money to build the waterline, and 8 years later, the Lord God also inspired CRS and Latter Days Saints Church to build towers to store water in Red Hill Community, We,the People of Red Hill Community, should begin to believe that God cares for us.
In January 2018, because Water & Sewer wanted to sell the water, Water & Sewer blocked my house and my school from getting water. Since then, I have to buy water from Water & Sewer’s agents who are using my pipeline, at L$10.00, a container before I have water at my house and my school. This is the 8th year since Water & Sewer blocked my house and my house from getting water through my pipeline.
The mosque is about 200 feet from the water & and sewer tower. I paid for the connection of the mosque to my 4-inch pipeline that runs through the community.
The mosque has water. But my church, my house, and my school are not getting water, even though I paid for the construction of the 4-inch pipeline that runs through the community.
Because I am not asking the community to pay back the money I used to build the waterline, and because I don’t think that CRS and Latter Days Saints Church are expecting us, the People of Red Hill Community, to pay back the money they used to build the towers, I appealed to the Managing Director of Water & Sewer to stop selling a container of water for L$10.00. I appealed to the Managing Director of Water & Sewer to sell the water L$5.00 for two containers of water.
I also appealed to the Managing Director of Water & Sewer to reopen the valve so that pipe borne water will reach my house and school.
The Water & Sewer tower, where I buy containers of water every day, is about 400 feet from my house.
The only response that I got from the Managing Director of Water & Sewer was insults. I don’t know why he chose to insult me.
Since the Managing Director of Water & Sewer serves at the pleasure of the president, I reported the case to the president. If the President is proud to have a Managing Director of a public corporation who insults a citizen for making an appeal, we will know.
I appeal to all who are not happy about what Water & Sewer is doing, not to destroy the pipeline. No one should touch the waterline. Let’s continue talking. One day, what we are asking for will happen. Nothing is impossible with God.
Ivory Coast fought her civil war. That civil war did not destroy any public facility. The public water system and the public electricity were intact at the end of the Ivorien Civil War. Let’s continue talking. It will be solved.
To destroy the pipeline, to destroy this Red Hill Community Waterline, is to “take the name of the Lord God in vain” (Exodus 20:7). God will hold us responsible.
I am appealing to the Managing Director of Water & Sewer to reopen the valve so that pipe borne water will flow to my school and my house. When the water begins to flow to my premises, I will begin to sell the water L$5.00 for two containers of water. If I pay the water bill and some money is left after selling the water L$5.00 for two containers, I will begin selling the water L$5.00 for three containers of water.
The waterline is a gift from God to Red Hill Community, Johnsonville Township, Montserrado County. We must be grateful to God.
If God took pity on my unworthy condition and used me to bring pipe borne water to Red Hill Community, Johnsonville Township, why should any human being feel humiliated?
