The General Manager of APUA was asked to address a water supply shortage reported by several Ministers, within their constituencies.
He reported that the R/O plant at Crabbes usually provides 4.5 million gallons of potable water daily. The plant is 27 years old and requires maintenance from time to time, which causes it to go offline.
Currently, it is only producing 1.5 million gallons of water; by the end of the week, the General Manager reported that it will be back up to 4.5 million gallons.
The RO plant at Fort James is adversely impacted by rough seas and high turbidity; it is producing 900,000 gallons of potable water each day, while its capacity is 1.5 million gallons.
A super filtration system is being added to that plant and, wells which fill up with water that has been filtered by the earth, will also be dug in and around Fort James.
The plant at Pigeon Point relies upon wells and operates at 100% capacity despite turbid waters; its capacity is less than one million gallons per day, and is intended to supply the villages in St. Paul.
The General Manager also explained that hundreds of valves have to be adjusted daily whenever water is to be diverted from one destination to another.
For example, at nights when demand subsides, water is diverted to reservoirs in order to meet additional demands during the day or for storage in the event the R/O plants may shut off for any reason.

Apua and the water is a f@#king joke in Antigua. A circus run by idiots and manned by retards. Water has been iff in Crosbies for weeks. What the hell is wrong with these people? Best pruvatize the damn thing and let a foriegn company run it because the indigenous people of the island are too corrup and to uneducated to manage a utilities company
Glad they’re fixing the plant, but what’s being done to prevent constant breakdowns?
A long-term solution is needed instead of these constant patch-up repairs.
Every time there’s a repair, we struggle with water shortages. Time for better infrastructure planning.
A long-term solution is needed instead of these constant patch-up repairs.
This is why rainwater harvesting should be promoted more! We can’t keep relying on an unstable system.
We building RO plants upon RO plants and still having water issues.
Some people haven’t had water in weeks yet APUA say no one should be without water for more than 3 days
