As water cuts become more frequent in Saint-Martin, some parents are living dangerously. Whilst being without running water with a newborn can be a real hassle, parents should take heart: the worst is yet to come. Imagine a child wanting to brush their teeth. They turn on the tap, realise there’s no water, and without even bothering to turn it off again, they go about their business.
A few hours later, the water comes back on and that’s when disaster strikes. The house turns into a water park and the laminate flooring starts to float away. As always, prevention is better than cure. So remember to check that all taps are turned off before leaving home. A simple step that can save you a lot of damage and a hefty bill.
