The six Reverse Osmosis plants on Antigua will be supplemented by two plants producing 1 million gallons each at Barnacle Point and at Ffryes.

A reverse osmosis plant to be built in Bethesda in 2024 will produce 3.5 million gallons daily.

The Minister of Public Utilities repeated that demand will be met fully before the end of the first quarter of 2024, or by March 31, 2024.

Three new hotel projects, many new homes, and other new businesses will cause demand for more water to rise.

The APUA, the Cabinet was assured, will be able to expand its supply to meet demand.

  1. Successive water Ministers had promised to solve Antigua water problems for years yet we still face the daunting water woes today. It’s been more talk than action. If you are fortunate to get continuous pipe bourne water uninterrupted for a week, you are extremely lucky. And the electricity is no better.

  2. And yet we cannot despair but live in hope that this time around that sufficient of our nation’s resources have been brought to bear to see a solution to this vexing issue. We must also remember to do our part to conserve this precious life giving resource. A significant amount of human, capital and financial resources have been thrown at this problem. Let’s see if there is light at the end of this tunnel in 2024.

  3. More rhetoric again. Replace the damn pipes and then the water supply will become better. Install equipment to manage the pressure so that the mains stop bursting. When you are done with that then if needed you can install more plants to use as a cover for stealing money. We don’t have a supply problem, we have a distribution problem. Some areas get water daily and deliberately so.

  4. Interestingly over the past month or so we in Vernon’s Developement ( St .Peters) have been experiencing a constant water supply with the odd day off. My main concern is the quality of the product. Their is a constant smell of like pvc solvent coming through the system. The technical officers at APUA need to look into their operations, cause we can have a health crisis on our hands.

  5. Give me a freaķin’ break! March yuh say???
    Keep fooling your guilible ABLP followers, who, by March, would have long forgotten this BS promise.
    We are not forgetful…it remains in the front of our minds to vote y’all OUT…OUT…OUT!

  6. When it comes to water the minister just needs to STFU. He talks about how many millions of gallons of water being produced, yet still 5 Islands getting water once per week (in a good week). If they’re producing the quantity of water they claim, then we do not have a production problem, but a distribution problem.

    How will producing a billion gallons per hour help us in 5 Islands? Robin Yearwood said that if a govt cannot provide the basics, like potable water, they do not deserve to be in power – and he’s damn right!!
