Antigua Public Utilities (APUA) Water Business Unit Addresses Reduced Production of Reverse Osmosis Plants
The Antigua Public Utilities (APUA) Water Business Unit is issuing a public advisory to inform customers about the reduced production of various Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants, resulting in shorter service periods or longer intervals between service days.
Over recent months, APUA has encountered significant challenges due to unfavorable sea conditions, leading to a drastic impact on production at both the Ffyres and Fort James Reverse Osmosis Plants.
Consequently, the Water Business Unit has had to reroute distribution from alternative sources to compensate for the reduced output from these affected plants.
“We understand the inconvenience and discomfort experienced by our customers due to the reduced production of our RO plants,” said Mr. Ian Lewis, Water Business Unit Manager. “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and assure our customers that we are working tirelessly to address this issue.”
As a consequence of increased demand and limited supply, some customers, particularly those situated further from alternative sources, may have experienced low water pressure or intermittent service.
APUA assures customers that every effort is being made to rectify the situation promptly.
“We are fully committed to delivering reliable and high-quality water services to our customers,” Mr. Lewis emphasized. “To address this challenge, we have expedited the procurement of replacement membranes, which are expected to significantly enhance the production capacity of the affected RO plants upon successful installation.”
While efforts are underway to minimize disruptions to service, customers are encouraged to conserve water during this period of reduced production.
APUA will continue to provide updates and communicate any changes to service schedules through official channels.

It doesn’t matter to me. My area has had water 2 times for this whole year. All of the people who bought these plants and who maintain them should be in jail.
I thought the PM said our water problems were solved. Where all de money gone? Bird people too thief.
So now the cry is that there will be water problems every time the seas are rough? I wish someone had been smart enough to know that before they bought all these RO plants. But I know it is just a big con for some connected people to make money.
Why can’t they build water storage tanks like those at WIOC in close proximity to the plants so that whenever the encounter these situations the water stored in said tanks can be used as a back up distribution means. The hurricane season is a mere months away what will happen if a major hurricane was supposed to hit. What then no electricity and no water for how long
