<< Back to Emergency Water Water Rationing Solved on St. John A premium Virgin Islands vacation spot, the island of St. John suffers periodic water shortages -- most frequently during the high season. After helping the local water utility, WAPA, with an emergency situation on St. John, Seven Seas was asked to be the primary water supplier to the island, producing water that WAPA distributes. Within a month of commissioning its plant on St. John, Seven Seas built island water reserves enough to eliminate rationing. Starting with a reverse osmosis desalination plant capable of producing some 100,000 gallons per day, Seven Seas has brought WAPA's total water production for St. John to more than 300,000 gallons per day. Water Crisis Averted in St. Barthelemy, French Antilles In 2001, Seven Seas Water saved St. Barth from an acute water shortage that was limiting tourism and costing the island revenues during its high season. St. Barth was expecting to commission a new water desalination plant, but ran out of water before it could be finished. Within weeks of being asked to help, Seven Seas Water provided a mobile desalination plant to the St. Barthelemy municipal water system, which distributed 435 cubic meters of water per day (115,000 gallons) to the drought-stricken island. Shortly after Seven Seas' arrival, levels in the islands' water storage tanks began to rise and water rationing was lifted. Seven Seas Water worked closely with the local water utility, meeting and bettering the strict water quality requirements of the Direction Departementale des Affaires Sanitaires Sociales. |
