Residents in the communities of Bethesda, Newfield, and Lyons are experiencing a temporary interruption to their water supply following the installation of a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV), according to Antigua.news.
The works, carried out by the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA), are part of ongoing infrastructure improvements to the island's water distribution network. PRVs are installed to regulate and reduce water pressure within supply lines, helping to protect pipes and ensure a more consistent delivery of water to residents.
As reported by Antigua.news, the interruption is temporary, and crews are working to restore normal water service to the affected communities as quickly as possible.
Residents in Bethesda, Newfield, and Lyons are advised to store adequate water supplies in the interim and to monitor official communications from APUA for updates on the restoration timeline.
APUA has not yet indicated a specific timeframe for the full restoration of service, but has assured that the disruption is a direct result of the planned infrastructure works and not an emergency fault.
