The Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) Water Business Unit has announced a temporary halt in operations at the Delaps Water Treatment Facility following reports of water discolouration and odour issues. The interruption, which began on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, was initiated as a precautionary measure to allow for a thorough investigation and the implementation of corrective actions. The facility has since reviewed and adjusted its treatment processes to ensure compliance with safety and regulatory standards before resuming water distribution. The health and safety of customers remain the top priority for APUA. During the ongoing work at Delaps, affected communities will receive water from alternative sources, which may lead to extended intervals between scheduled servicing days as the system balances demand. Customers experiencing persistent issues with water quality or service interruptions are urged to contact the 24/7 Customer Service Centre at 211 for immediate assistance. APUA has expressed its sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused and thanked the public for their patience, understanding, and cooperation as efforts continue to restore full operations at the Delaps facility.
