BWA limiting work to emergencies only until further notice

In light of the prevailing conditions being experienced across the island, the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) wishes to advise that its crews will only be addressing emergencies beginning today Saturday, April 10 until further notice.

The Authority will continue to monitor the situation.

This action is being taken out of an abundance of caution to protect the Authority’s staff in the field and its equipment.

The Barbados Water Authority also informs that it has no plans to shut off the water supply across the island.

The Authority operates a water distribution network which is a closed system. This means that our infrastructure is not exposed or vulnerable to any ash fall being experienced.
