The Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) has commenced installation of a 16-inch discharge line at Barnacle Point, marking a key step in the development of a new two–million–gallon–per–day Reverse Osmosis Plant.

Officials say the project is part of the ongoing effort to expand and stabilize the nation’s water supply, ensuring more reliable service to communities across the island.

Once completed, the plant is expected to significantly boost production capacity and reduce the chronic shortages that have affected households and businesses in recent years.
