    Another section of road being dug up, huh? George Street is going to be a bit chaotic with that single lane. While it’s always annoying, replacing old pipes with more durable ones is crucial for reliable water. So, I guess we just have to grin and bear the traffic for a bit. Hope this ‘upgrade’ actually works and we don’t see them digging it up again next month!

    Absolutely fabulous news. Rip out the old -replace with new and improved. Keep it up and Antigua will indeed become the mecca of the Caribbean.

    Finally…I expect to see improvement in the water distribution soon
