The Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) has successfully recommissioned the Buckley’s Tank, a critical 600,000-imperial-gallon water storage facility, following extensive refurbishment efforts. This milestone marks the restoration of its full operational capacity, ensuring a more reliable water supply to communities in the southeastern region, including Liberta and Horsford Hill, which have historically faced periodic water shortages. The project was celebrated during a site visit on Friday, attended by Hon. Melford Nicholas, Minister of Public Utilities, and Hon. E.P. Chet Greene, Minister of Foreign Affairs and parliamentary representative for St. Paul’s. APUA Chief Executive Officer John Bradshaw highlighted the broader upgrades underway across the island’s water infrastructure, such as the refurbishment of the two-million-gallon Crabbs storage tank, the commissioning of the 450,000-imperial-gallon Pattersons tank, and the planned construction of new storage facilities in the New Winthropes Wink Eye area. These investments aim to enhance both production and storage capacities, ensuring a sustainable and dependable water supply for all consumers.
