I have been living in Washington Gardens for over two years. During this period I have noticed that there is infrequent water supply in the area. There is no special time if or when the water supply will go or come back. At times there can be a broken pipe in the community and that can take a while to fix leading to a shortage of water during maintenance. i have also observed that even when there is a leak the N.W.C would take a while to respond to the leakage
