National Demand for Water Expected to be Met by September 2025
In an ambitious move to enhance the nation’s water supply, the country’s prime minister, Gaston Browne, announced that water production capacity is set to expand by an impressive five million gallons per day, paving the way for a total production of 13 million gallons daily by September 2025.
This development comes as part of a strategic commitment to fulfill the increasing water needs of communities nationwide.
He emphasized that many regions have been experiencing inconsistent water supply and that solutions to these challenges are complex and multifaceted.
In his address to the nation to mark the end of 2024, Browne noted that addressing water supply issues demands significant time, resources, and a dedicated workforce at the APUA.
To further bolster these efforts, a substantial investment of $110 million has been earmarked for upgrading water infrastructure and enhancing the skills of staff engaged in water production, distribution, and maintenance.
This initiative aims to ensure that the flow of water becomes more reliable and sustainable for all citizens.
