The government says national water production capacity is set to increase to approximately 14 million gallons per day, marking a significant expansion from levels recorded a decade ago.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne said during the Browne and Browne Show that water output has already risen from about 2.5 million gallons per day in earlier years to nearly 11 million gallons currently.
With the addition of a new plant, Browne said total production is expected to reach roughly 14 million gallons daily, improving reliability and reducing longstanding supply challenges.
The prime minister described the expansion as part of a broader overhaul of the country’s water infrastructure, which includes repairs to storage tanks, construction of additional tanks and the digitization of the water distribution system.
He said the upgrades are aimed at ensuring more consistent delivery to households and businesses, particularly in areas that have historically faced intermittent service.
Browne added that the government remains focused on modernizing utilities as part of wider infrastructure improvements across Antigua and Barbuda.

But if I’m not getting the water flowing through my pipe, what’s the point if these announcements?
Many times I turn the tap and all I get is air in the line, despite the plant being online down @ fort
Please stop believing their BS. APUA is a joke. They don’t even have water running tonslme areas of the island for weeks at a time. This is not an exaggeration. As usual Antiguan managed and operate and therefore it is a shambles and poorly managed and even worse maintained. New equipment means more things for them to break. Ifnyou look up incompetence in the dictionary you will se a picture of APUA on the page.
This public confidence antics is still carrying on by melford and ALP?
The small glass really tell it’s just a trickle of water coming through the pipes, and someone said he wasn’t drinking that dirty brown water from the pipe, it is all stage as performative politics.
14 million gallons daily? Then tomorrow it is a different story.It was just sweet sounding nothings.How do we know that water came from the plant?
