Antigua and Barbuda is now producing more than 11 million gallons of desalinated water each day, the highest output in its history.
The announcement came Thursday during the Throne Speech, where Governor General Sir Rodney Williams detailed the country’s progress in tackling decades-old shortages.

Sir Rodney said water production has risen sharply from 3.5 million gallons per day in 2014 to the current 11 million, crediting the Antigua Public Utilities Authority and a U.S. partner firm for expanding desalination capacity.
He described the increase as a major step toward ending the chronic supply problems that have challenged households, farmers and the tourism sector for generations.
Work, however, is not complete.
Storage upgrades are still underway, with Cuban water engineers assisting through a bilateral arrangement to address longstanding deficiencies in the island’s tank system. Repiping across several communities is also planned, with support pledged by the Government of China.
The Governor General said these combined efforts—new production, expanded storage, and systemwide repiping—represent the closest Antigua and Barbuda has ever come to resolving its historic water woes.
He praised APUA’s leadership and Cabinet direction, saying the gains reflect “talent, friendship across many nations, and unwavering determination.”
Additional upgrades are expected to continue into 2026 as the government moves to modernize the entire water network.
