Like the water system in Erica Gies’ quote above, we who depend on, and use St Helena water, are also intricately linked. All stakeholders need a voice in the decision making process governing the management of this vital resource: water. It is for this reason that Water Advocates St Helena supports the establishment of a Water and Wastewater Commission to act in an advisory capacity to the St Helena City Council.
