Antigua and Barbuda’s Water Distribution to Be Upgraded, APUA promises

The government of Antigua and Barbuda and the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) are working towards improving the distribution of water starting this month.

APUA has reported there are currently 11 million gallons of water stored at the plants, which is 19 million less than what is required for all consumers to attain a 24-hour supply of water.

Therefore, APUA aims to resume the activity of the Ffryes Reverse Osmosis Plant by the end of next week and begin production of potable water in Barbuda using green technology.

Meanwhile, in commenting on specific areas of improvement, Hon. Melford Nicholas, Minister for Public Utilities, expresses, “The production of water is the first thing that we have to improve upon. We do not have enough water in production.

I am happy to say that by the end of this month, the second plant at Fort James will be commissioned.”

This second plant at Fort James that will be commissioned will lead to another 500,000 gallons of water being produced, ensuring Fort James supplies 1 million gallons of water.

He adds the ultrafiltration system is expected to be delivered in October of this year to enhance the consistency of water supply throughout the nation.
