Cabinet Urges APUA to Address Water Supply Challenges
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.
