The Contractor actually had a breakdown which resulted into a delayed in the cleaning process. As we speak, we have hired additional contractor for effective removal of waste in the factory yard."
Haddad continued: "As for other works in the yard, it was due to the rainy season that we decided to wait before completing the work that was started in the factory yard. We have done some and the real work will be done during the dry season. The public knows the brand name BRAVO when it comes to quality. Yes you can count on BRAVO. To our dear customers, our water quality is outstanding and we will never compromise our business values and standards."
