Water production in Antigua and Barbuda is expected to get a boost as the second Seven Seas plant will go into production this weekend producing approximately 2 million gallons of water daily.  

Minister of Utilities Melford Nicholas provided the update to Cabinet.

“As it relates to the supply of water, the Honorable Minister for Utilities, Melford Nicholas, he reported that the plant, the second Seven Seas plant, will go into production this coming weekend and will produce approximately 2 million gallons of water per day.

“Some added water service for particularly areas in the north, Hodges Bay, Coolidge, New Winthropes, Barnes Hill, Blue Waters, Cedar Valley, and so forth, will see improvements very shortly. They go into production this week. However, you may not see a difference in your supply of water because there will be the need for testing and adjusting and so forth as it goes into production this coming weekend,” Cabinet Spokesperson Maurice Merchant advised.

    This should take some pressure off the system. Now let’s see consistent delivery reaching the communities that need it most.

    It might work for awhile but Antigua doesn’t do maintenance very well and the systems have failed in the past.

    Anything that strengthens the water supply is welcome. Still want to see long-term maintenance and transparency so we don’t end up right back where we started.
