Officials ordering water restrictions throughout Saint Lucia as of May 15. Commercial disruptions likely.
Officials have ordered water restrictions across Saint Lucia as of May 15 due to weather-related shortages. Effective immediately, treated water may only be used for human and animal consumption and personal hygiene. Once the measures are officially gazetted, violation of the order will be punishable by fine or jail time. The length of the measures is currently indeterminate but likely dependent on rainfall.
Disruptions to business activities dependent on treated water are almost certain.
Follow all official directives, including restrictions on water usage. Confirm and stock up on alternative water supplies for business purposes; plan for disruptions to business activities. Monitor official channels for updates.
