The St. Kitts Water Services Department wishes to advise ALL WATER CONSUMERS in St. Kitts that we are currently experiencing reduced rainfall which means that we have less water to distribute. Based on rainfall data received from the Meteorological Services, the accumulated rainfall up to March 31, 2023, was 200 millimeters; less than 50% of what was received for the same period in 2022.

All consumers are therefore required to practice conservation measures so as to minimize the duration of water interruptions.

Consumers are strongly encouraged to:

(1) Check their premises for leaks and have them repaired immediately.

(2) Report any suspected leaks to the Water Services Department at 465-8000.

(3) Refrain from watering lawns.

(4) Use a bucket when washing vehicles and buildings.

A water rationing schedule has been put in place whereby water will be closed off between 9 pm and 5 am daily. Residents are therefore encouraged to store water to meet their needs during the interruptions in the public supply.

Please note that the Water Services Department taking steps to increase our water production capacity to enable a 24-hour supply even during the annual Dry-Season.
