The reverse osmosis plant at Barnacle Point is now 50% complete, the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA<\/a><\/strong>) has confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ffryes Beach desalination facility is also operating at full capacity, producing up to one million gallons of water daily to meet national demand.<\/p>

Cabinet members were briefed on the China-funded EC$1 million Antigua and Barbuda Pipe Rehabilitation Project, which includes major pipeline upgrades in areas such as Factory to Buckley Booster, Parham Booster to Cassada Gardens, Liberta to Patterson Tank, and Golden Grove to Grays Hill.<\/p>

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

Several road and water infrastructure projects are also advancing. The Valley Road Project is set for completion by 18 July, the Point Project is due within six weeks, and the Church Pond Project is 95% finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Crabbs, the old steel frame is being dismantled to make way for the new water plant, and the Fort James Ultra Filtration Project is now complete.<\/p>
