Grenada’s National Water and Sewerage Authority (Nawasa) has issued a public advisory alerting residents and commuters to upcoming large-scale concrete pouring operations at the Moliniere Reservoir construction site, scheduled for Friday, 3 July 2026. This work is a core milestone for Lot 1 of the transformative Southern St George Water Supply Expansion Project (SSGWEP), a national infrastructure initiative aimed at upgrading the island’s water access network.
As a critical step in building the new, expanded reservoir, the operation will require a constant stream of heavy ready-mix concrete trucks traveling to and from the work zone throughout the workday. This increased heavy vehicle traffic will lead to temporary slowdowns and delays for motorists and other road users traveling through the Moliniere area, expected to last from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on the day of the pour.
To mitigate safety risks and keep traffic moving as smoothly as possible, the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) will deploy on-site personnel to manage traffic flow throughout the entire construction operation. Nawasa has issued a set of clear guidance for road users planning to travel through the area: all commuters are asked to exercise extra caution when passing the work zone, follow all directions issued by police and on-site traffic management staff, build extra time into their travel itineraries to account for delays, and consider using pre-planned alternative routes if those options are convenient for their trip.
The Moliniere Reservoir expansion is not an isolated project: it forms a key part of the broader SSGWEP, which receives full funding from the UK Caribbean Infrastructure Fund (UKCIF). Once completed, the initiative will deliver long-term upgrades to Grenada’s core water infrastructure, drastically boosting the reliability and climate resilience of the island’s water supply network for thousands of residential and commercial customers across the Southern St George region.
In closing the advisory, Nawasa extended a sincere apology for the temporary inconvenience that the traffic disruptions will cause for local residents and passing commuters. The authority also thanked the public for their ongoing patience, understanding and cooperation as it works to deliver this high-priority national infrastructure project that will benefit communities for generations to come.
