A major water line break at Crabbs is causing service disruptions for residents across several communities, according to Antigua News Room.

The Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) Water Business Unit has confirmed that a 20-inch transmission line at Crabbs has been broken. Crews have isolated the damaged section to allow for urgent repairs, with distribution currently being rerouted through an alternative 16-inch line.

However, the temporary arrangement may not provide sufficient capacity to meet the full demand of customers normally served by the Parham Booster Station. As a result, affected residents may experience low water pressure or intermittent service interruptions while repairs are underway.

APUA stated that its team is actively working to complete the repairs as quickly as possible and restore normal service to all affected customers. The authority apologised for the inconvenience and asked for the patience and understanding of affected residents.
