During the Sitting of the Nevis Island Assembly on Thursday, August 24th, Minister with responsibility for Water Services, Hon. Spencer Brand provided an update regarding the proposal of a Desalination Plant to provide a solution to the island’s water issues.

Over the past months, it was reported that the water wells on Nevis were not recharging quickly enough, thus, causing rationing for residents on the island.
