Saint Lucia water security and infrastructure projects

Overview

Saint Lucia has launched major initiatives to improve water security and infrastructure. A new project, developed by the Department of Sustainable Development and the Department of Education, aims to support at least 20 schools in water-stressed areas by installing water tanks and solar-powered pumps to ensure a five-day water supply.

Additionally, the Northern Water Project is receiving an investment of over $22 million, funded primarily by the Caribbean Development Bank. This includes the John Compton Dam Raw Water Pipeline Replacement Project, which involves replacing five kilometers of damaged pipelines to provide reliable water to households, businesses, farmers, and essential services such as healthcare and airport terminals.
