Water production in Antigua is set to increase significantly this weekend as the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) confirms the completion of the expanded reverse osmosis (RO) plant at Ffryes Beach, along with its newly installed supply lines.
Starting today, Friday, the facility will begin generating one million gallons of water per day, addressing the needs of communities across the island, with a focus on the southern region.
The activation of the Ffryes Beach RO plant was initially planned for Tuesday, January 28. APUA’s distribution strategy involves directing water northward toward St. John’s via one pump, while another will supply areas in the south, including Johnson’s Point, Cades Bay, and Old Road.
This expansion is part of a government partnership with Florida-based Seven Seas Water Group to enhance island-wide water production.
