APUA Presses Ahead with Modernization 

The Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) is advancing a major water infrastructure modernization and expansion programme. APUA’S General Manager, John Bradshaw, told Cabinet the Authority continues to advance a comprehensive national water infrastructure modernization and expansion programme aimed at ensuring a safe, reliable, and sustainable water supply for residents, businesses, and the tourism sector.

Phase 1 of the replacement project targets the high-density corridor between Independence Avenue and Market Street, extending east to west to the sea, and bounded north to south by New Gate Street and Nevis Street. All internal streets and lanes within this area are included in the upgrade schedule.

Other aspects of a major overhaul will include Barnes Hill / Coolidge Sump Rehabilitation, a Grays Hill / Five Islands Expansion Project, and an upgrade to the Wink Eye and New Winthorpes Water Storage Facilities.
