Tuesday, 15th April 2025 – The APUA Water team has reached the limit of water we can safely extract from the Potworks Reservoir.

For months, it supplied up to 900,000 gallons daily to several southeastern communities, but low rainfall has reduced water levels too much to continue.

These areas will now receive water from the Crabbs Reverse Osmosis Plant. While we adjust, some customers may experience longer gaps between service or occasional interruptions.

Communities affected include:

American Road, All Saints Road, Belmont, Bethesda, Briggins, Buckleys, Folly Hill, Horsford Hill, John Hughes, Liberta, Ottos New Town, Patterson, Radio Range, St Clair Heights, Swetes, Wallings, and parts of Falmouth.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these challenges together. We will keep you posted with any important updates.

    • Negativity in your every comments. Early mornings are for spreading positivity for a long day ahead but here you are making that difficult. APUA so they best they can to fix the water problem here in Antigua and I feel like they should be congratulated for the hard work and effort
