Been in orient village since Tuesday.
Water was out Wednesday night and again tonight

I’m pretty easy going and we had this issue a night or two a couple years ago here as well.

But come on man…

So much talk almost all the time about no water or other French side problems which is a on going problem for years. Dutch of French side if you don't what that problem make sure your hotel or villa is well prepared with a large water cistern and a good back up generator as both sides have problems ....but more often on the French side.

"Saturday April 22, 2023 - Major break on the main canal at Hope Estate
-----------------------
Overnight, the main water intake pipe that allows power to the Eastern part of the island suffered a major break.
SAUR Saint-Martin teams have been mobilized since 6:00 to carry out repairs.
The intervention creates a potable water supply cut from Grand-Case to Oyster Pond. Everything is being implemented for the restoration of the service as soon as possible.
A second statement will be released as soon as the teams have some visibility for resurfacing.
SAUR Saint-Martin thanks its subscribers for their understanding in the face of this aisle."

We love going to the FRENCH side but this no water thing just never seems to be finally fixed. ALWAYS SOMETHING. Unless you are staying at a hotel for free why do people keep going back for that aggravation? A few hotel have a water supply and most nice villas do, just make sure before you book otherwise.....Dutch side. IMO Same with a good back up generator . Lights go off too.
