Final Preparations Underway for Buckleys Storage Tank Commissioning
Work is in the final stages on the new 600,000-gallon storage tank at Buckleys, which is expected to come online by mid-September.
According to officials, the facility will provide a much-needed boost to the water distribution system, improving supply to residents from the Buckleys area through to Horsford Hill.
The project forms part of ongoing efforts to strengthen Antigua and Barbuda’s water infrastructure, addressing long-standing concerns about reliability and access. Once commissioned, the tank is expected to ease shortages in surrounding communities, particularly during periods of high demand.
