The Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) Water Business Unit has initiated essential maintenance operations on a major 12-inch water distribution line near St. George’s Drive. This proactive infrastructure project forms part of the utility’s comprehensive strategy to reinforce and upgrade the island’s water network reliability.
Due to the ongoing repair activities, vehicular access along St. George’s Drive has been temporarily suspended. Motorists traveling westward from Parham or the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium are specifically affected and cannot transit through the impacted section.
APUA officials have designated Paynters Main Road as the official alternative route for accessing adjacent communities during this period. The authority strongly urges all road users to exercise heightened caution when navigating near the active work zone, emphasizing reduced speeds and increased awareness of utility personnel and equipment.
While no specific completion timeline was provided, APUA assures the public that crews are working diligently to finalize repairs and restore normal traffic patterns promptly. The utility expressed gratitude for public cooperation and understanding during these necessary infrastructure improvements.
