APUA prompted to step up water production (file photo)
The Cabinet continues to emphasize the urgent need for the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) to account for its water supply management.
This call to action follows concerns about the provision of water to homes, hotels, government institutions, and other consumers across the island.
Currently, the Potworks Dam, a significant source of water, has ceased its daily withdrawal of 900,000 gallons, prompting the need for the Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plants to increase their output.
The Cabinet highlighted the importance of these plants stepping up to address the deficit in potable water available for public consumption.
To support the APUA in these efforts, the Cabinet has approved a financial injection to ensure that necessary parts are readily available to maintain the RO plants’ operations.
This strategic investment is expected to enhance the agency’s capacity to deliver water effectively during this challenging period.
So let’s see….We have reverse osmosis plants and are surrounded by sea water and yet we do not have a continuous flow of water to every business and home in Antigua? What’s really going on here? Somebody please MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!
Well if that isnwhat you are asking for be careful, because it is very likely they will increase taxes on us
This strategic investment is expected to enhance the agency’s capacity..bla bla bla bla..so how come we still have water woes.
You spin doctors full of it Gaston
This is crap now. With all the new Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants built, we still have water challenges. Somebody needs to be fired.
I have no water at home from APUA. When the water finally comes I cant even wash my dog with it. Its murky. We need to pray for continuous rain. Only sky water we can depend on. APUA cant seem to get it right
How much more urging can there be
APUA needs to communicate better with the public. When will people get consistent supply again?
We’ve been getting water once every few weeks. Hope this means real change and not just more talk. It’s not just about fixing RO plants, what’s the long-term water strategy? Climate change isn’t going away.
We the people need to get rid of the corrupt ABLP or this will never end. Gaston Browne is the most teefing corrupt leader the Caribbean have ever seen. Egocentric and buys everybody smh
