The Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis is implementing an exploratory drilling programme to enhance its water security, conducted by a company from Trinidad and Tobago. Drilling is currently taking place in Saddlers, with around ten locations targeted for assessment.

This initiative supports a $60 million investment in a desalination plant, which produces two million gallons of potable water per day and will be officially commissioned on February 24. Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew emphasized the government's commitment to a reliable water supply and long-term infrastructure resilience, urging citizens to comply with water bill payments to support the national water system.
