Water and Housing Minister, Dr. Horace Chang, announced that a master plan is being developed to achieve the government’s goal of providing drinking water to all rural communities by 2015. This initiative is being implemented by the Rural Water Supply Company, formerly Carib Engineering Corporation Limited (CECL). According to Dr. Chang, less than 50 per cent of rural communities have access to potable water, and many residents in these areas still rely on traditional sources.
