The problem of drought affects all sectors of activity, including construction. Workers return to work this Monday and are forced to juggle the lack of water.
A difficult return to school during this period of drought: “It’s complicated, because we have to wake up early and we have to go get water before going to the construction sites for example. Plus the water problems in Saint-André, frankly it’s difficult.”
With the water cuts in the East, construction sites are falling behind schedule: “The customer sometimes doesn’t want to know anything. As we can fall behind with a lack of water, it’s unpleasant to deal with.”
A problem which adds to the difficulties for the construction industry: “There was already the problem of the cost of materials, that of finding skills to work on construction sites and now the problem of water. This makes the life of the business manager even more complicated“.
-Delays which could cause financial difficulties for companies in the construction sector.
