Progress is steadily moving forward on the new 2 million-gallon-per-day Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant at Shell Beach, a project expected to significantly boost water security for communities along Antigua’s northern corridor.

As part of the installation, APUA crews are preparing to lay approximately 3,300 feet of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) transmission lines stretching from Jabberwock through Cedar Valley.

Preparatory work on the pipes is already underway, with installation scheduled to follow in the coming weeks.

Once operational, the lines will feed directly into the new plant, delivering a stronger and more reliable water supply to surrounding neighborhoods and helping to ease long-standing shortages in the area.

  1. Glad we’re getting more water security, but I hope they’re also considering the environmental impact of another desalination plant.

  2. APUA deserves credit here. Laying down over 3,000 feet of pipes is no small job, this is real progress.
