Senator Joseph and Minister Nicholas Meet Residents Over 15-Year Water Shortage in Cooks and Golden Grove Extensions
Senator Michael M. Joseph and Information, Communications Technologies, Utilities and Energy Minister Melford Nicholas visited Cooks Extension and Golden Grove Extension on Friday to meet residents facing more than 15 years without APUA water.
Residents said the ongoing shortage stems from the land developer’s failure to deliver the required infrastructure, leaving households without access to running water for over a decade. The walkthrough gave community members an opportunity to share their experiences directly with the officials.
The visit formed part of what Senator Joseph described as the government’s renewed commitment to extend reliable water access to every community in Antigua and Barbuda. He said both Minister Nicholas and Prime Minister Gaston Browne have pledged to resolve the long-standing infrastructure gaps affecting the area.
Residents welcomed the engagement and expressed hope that the promised improvements will soon be delivered.
