Madam Speaker, The Ministry of Communications and Works has embarked on an aggressive program to provide the residents of the Virgin Islands with a more reliable, sustainable and consistent potable water supply. We started with first assessing all existing water assets and resources, to develop a comprehensive action plan to achieve this goal. Currently there are a number of projects geared towards improving the potable water infrastructure in the Territory.
The Government of the Virgin Islands is continuing to upgrade the existing water distribution network as it ensures that all residents have access to potable water.
The public is invited to join with the Conservation and Fisheries Department and the Water and Sewerage Department at the World Water Day Exhibition on Tuesday, March 22 at the Noel Lloyd Positive Action Movement Park.
