Eugene Hamilton as the area representative. A significant engagement and payment to BEAD, initiated by Hon. Hamilton, paved the way for the exploration, marking a crucial step toward resolving the water crisis in Cayon.

In May 2022, the Team Unity Cabinet approved a payment of USD$600,000.00 to bring BEAD back to Cayon, reinforcing their commitment to addressing the water challenges in the area. The newly discovered well, a result of these concerted efforts, is now expected to bring substantial relief after a prolonged 18-month wait.

Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew, speaking on the recent developments, noted that a second round of testing is underway to ensure the water’s suitability for consumption. Water Engineer, Cromwell Williams, affirmed that the quality test results are expected next week, and if positive, extraction will commence using a smaller pump already on hand.

Dr. Drew emphasized the significance of this milestone, stating, “This is going to solve the problem to a great extent in Cayon, while we wait for the larger pump to come.” The impending commissioning ceremony for the new well marks a critical step forward in fulfilling the government’s commitment to resolving water issues in St. Kitts, demonstrating the tangible results of the Team Unity Administration’s dedication to addressing crucial community needs.
