Residents across multiple communities in Antigua should prepare for temporary water service interruptions as the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) undertakes essential maintenance operations at the Crabbs Reverse Osmosis Plant. Scheduled for Tuesday between 8:00 a.m. and approximately 6:00 p.m., this ten-hour project will focus on critical work involving the facility’s storage tank.
During this period, consumers may encounter various service issues including complete short-term interruptions, significantly reduced water pressure, or abbreviated distribution cycles. While APUA anticipates full network restoration by early Wednesday morning, households situated at higher elevations are advised to expect potential delays as the system requires additional time to fully recharge and stabilize.
The extensive list of affected areas encompasses numerous communities: Weirs, North Sound, Gunthorpes, Fitches Creek, Pigotts, Paynters, Lightfoot, Herberts, Sea View Farm, Potters, Parham, Pares, All Saints, Freemans Village, Clare Hall, Cassada Gardens, along with sections of Old Parham Road, Sir Sydney Walling Highway, and Friars Hill Road.
APUA has formally apologized for any inconvenience resulting from these necessary maintenance activities and strongly recommends that residents implement appropriate contingency measures. The utility provider has directed customers seeking additional information to contact the APUA Support Centre at telephone number 211 for further assistance and updates.
