The government says national water production capacity is set to increase to approximately 14 million gallons per day, marking a significant expansion from levels recorded a decade ago.

Prime Minister Gaston Browne said during the Browne and Browne Show that water output has already risen from about 2.5 million gallons per day in earlier years to nearly 11 million gallons currently.

With the addition of a new plant, Browne said total production is expected to reach roughly 14 million gallons daily, improving reliability and reducing longstanding supply challenges.

The prime minister described the expansion as part of a broader overhaul of the country’s water infrastructure, which includes repairs to storage tanks, construction of additional tanks and the digitization of the water distribution system.

He said the upgrades are aimed at ensuring more consistent delivery to households and businesses, particularly in areas that have historically faced intermittent service.

Browne added that the government remains focused on modernizing utilities as part of wider infrastructure improvements across Antigua and Barbuda.
