APUA Advises Mariners of Ongoing Intake Line Installation at Ivan Rodrigues Reverse Osmosis Plant

The APUA Water Business Unit has issued a public notice regarding ongoing installation works at the Ivan Rodrigues Reverse Osmosis Plant. Starting October 28th, 2025, a 24-inch intake line is being installed, extending approximately 1,000 feet eastward from the shoreline. The project is expected to conclude by the evening of October 30th, when the intake line will be fully submerged. Marine operators, particularly small craft users, are advised to maintain a minimum distance of 1,600 feet east of the plant when navigating from north to south to avoid potential interference with the line. The area will be clearly marked with buoys and lighting to ensure visibility, especially during nighttime operations. APUA emphasizes the importance of public cooperation and understanding as these essential upgrades to the water system are carried out safely and efficiently. These improvements are part of APUA’s commitment to providing reliable water services, encapsulated in their motto, ‘Necessary for Life.’
