APUA Secures Cabinet Approval for $5M Water Infrastructure Overhaul in St. John's
The Antigua Public Utilities Authority has received Cabinet approval for a $5 million modernization project aimed at overhauling the water infrastructure in St. John's. The project will replace aging cast-iron pipelines, enhance water flow, and reduce service disruptions. The government has committed $4 million to the initiative, with the potential for an additional $1 million after an assessment. The first phase targets a high-density area and includes the use of HDPE pipes and an expanded SCADA system for better monitoring and leak detection.

The Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) has launched a $5 million water infrastructure overhaul in St. John's, following Cabinet approval. The project focuses on replacing old cast-iron pipelines to improve water flow and reduce service interruptions.
The government has committed $4 million initially, with a potential additional $1 million based on future assessments. The first phase targets the area between Independence Avenue and Market Street, using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes and a gravity-fed system from the Grays Hill tank. The project also includes expanding a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for better monitoring and leak detection, alongside potential trenchless insulation technology for pipe installation.
