CABINET NOTES:<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Cabinet received a report on water shortages as a consequence of a continuing drought. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Greater efforts continue to be exerted in order to ensure that every community receives some water several times each week.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The rough seas are beginning to abate and the reverse osmosis plants are capable of increasing productivity.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

There are six reverse osmosis plants that are capable of producing 8.5 million gallons daily.<\/p>\n

At the moment they are producing at little more than 70% capacity but will likely increase as the sand, pebbles and shells fall to the seabed and the water becomes less turbid.<\/p>
