Water and Utilities Reliability

Sept 2025

24-hour water target — missed

Government set this benchmark publicly at the end of 2024. It passed without clean delivery.

33%

of prior Crabbes output

The main desalination plant had fallen to roughly one third of its previous output by February 2025.

EC$27M

annual government water subsidy

APUA's water division loses approximately EC$2.3 million per month — money going to a failing service rather than schools, roads, or debt repayment.

40%

of daily water production lost to leakage

On top of the production shortfall, up to 40% of what APUA does produce is lost through distribution leaks before it reaches taps.
