The Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) has shifted plans from building a reverse osmosis plant in Bethesda to constructing a new facility at Crabbes Peninsula to replace the aging plant built in 1988.
General Manager John Bradshaw explained that the decision is driven by economics and operational efficiency, as the old plant has exceeded its economic life, leading to rising maintenance costs. He highlighted that transitioning to Crabbes, where infrastructure already exists, will save an estimated $20 million compared to starting anew in Bethesda.
Bradshaw emphasized that the new facility will enhance water supply reliability, adding seven million gallons to the system by the end of 2025.
