Historic Liberta Water Tank Restored After Rapid Repairs

The historic water tank in Liberta, a community landmark standing for over a century, has undergone comprehensive restoration through a collaborative initiative spearheaded by the Ministry of Works. Member of Parliament for St. Paul, E.P. Chet Greene, officially announced the completion of the reconstruction project, highlighting its significance to both local residents and the Liberta diaspora worldwide.

Located adjacent to the Gracehill Moravian Church, the aged structure received skillful reconstruction from contractor Vaughn Jackson, whose expertise was specifically commended by Greene. The project was characterized by its rapid execution following the Ministry’s responsive intervention.

In an official statement, Greene expressed profound appreciation for the restoration effort, noting that the landmark serves as an enduring symbol of Liberta’s cultural heritage. “I can assert without hesitation that every member of the Liberta community, both domestically and internationally, shares my profound gratitude and exhilaration regarding this preservation achievement,” Greene declared.

The newly restored structure has been repainted in Antigua and Barbuda’s national colors, visually reinforcing its status as a community treasure. Greene emphasized that the project represents more than infrastructure maintenance—it constitutes the preservation of tangible history for the St. Paul constituency and future generations.
