Abacos
Abaco is the third most populated island in the Bahamas, and this population also includes large numbers of second home owners who visit seasonally from North America and Europe. Its vibrant economy benefits from tourism, wonderful boating, the fishing industry, and various agricultural undertakings. The many isolated communities and off-shore Cays provide a cultural diversity and character that is unique. Picturesque old settlements combine with a hard working fishing communities, and the bustle of busy Marsh Harbour. Pine forests, shallow seas, and many interesting environmental features provide something for most, and there are numerous social events and activities for those that enjoy them. The W&SC provides all communities in mainland Abaco with potable water, generally using groundwater resources, and water is also piped across to Green Turtle Cay. Desalinated water using reverse osmosis is supplied in Moores Island, Grand Cay, and Cherokee Sound. The main office is located in Marsh Harbour with substations in Treasure Cay, and Coopers Town.

Andros
Though it is generally flat and low lying Andros is actually the fifth largest island in the wider Caribbean area. Despite its size Andros has a very small population and wonderful environmental features. With miles and miles of pine forest, the world’s largest concentration of untouched blue holes, a complex network of creeks, lakes, and marshes, the second largest coral reef in the western hemisphere, Andros is also the Bahamian island that is best endowed with freshwater. Saline creeks meander across the island from coast to coast separating North Andros, from Wood Cay, Mangrove Cay and South Andros. The W&SC provides water supplies to all communities in North Andros, and Mangrove Cay, and most of South Andros, using the natural resource, and for 35 years shipped water to New Providence where natural resources were lacking. The main operational base in Andros is located in Nicholl’s Town with substations in Fresh Creek, and the Kemp’s Bay complex.

New Providence
This heavily populated island includes the capital Nassau. The W&SC provides piped water to most sectors of the island, most of which is provided by means of reverse osmosis desalination. Some wellfields in the western end of the island are still in use however these are gradually being phased out to be replaced by more reliable and better quality water. There are private suppliers in New Providence, like Atlantis on Paradise Island. The W&SC system is rapidly being expanded to meet the needs of growing demands, and new developments. Customer service is provided by the main office on Thompson Blvd. but payments can be made at most commercial banks, via the internet, or by mail.

Eleuthera / Harbour Island
Beautiful Eleuthera consists of rolling hills and valleys interspersed with shallow lakes and ponds and large areas of natural coppice. The coast lines alternate from steep rocky cliffs to amazing beaches. This island has had a fascinating history which includes that of the Eleutherian Adventurers and the establishment of the first Republic in the New World. Offshore islands like Harbour Island, Spanish Wells, and Royal Island each have their own aspects of historical interest. The W&SC provides water to all sectors of the island, mostly from desalination sources though it is still using the Bogue Wellfield in the north as a natural source of supply. Tarpum Bay’s desalination facility is unique in that it is expected to be powered predominantly by wind energy starting in 2014. If successful, renewable energy could be used at other facilities on the island and elsewhere in The Bahamas. There are offices located in the main settlements like Governor’s Harbour, Rock Sound, Dunmore Town, and Spanish Wells.

The Exumas
This exquisite chain of islands with turquoise seas and pristine beaches is a boater’s paradise, and it extends over a distance of 90 miles from Beacon Cay in the north down to Hog Cay in the south. The chain of islands contains the world famous Exuma Cays Land and Sea National Park, formed by an Act of Parliament on July 13th 1959. The W&SC provides water produced by the desalination process of reverse osmosis on Great Exuma, from Rolleville in the north down to Rolle Town in the south, and in Staniel Cay, Black Point, and Farmer’s Cay. The main office and centre of operations is located in George Town.

Long Island
The Atlantic coastline of Long Island is spectacular and provides a wonderful contrast to the more tranquil bays and coves on the west side. Being a long thin island with hilly ridges extending from the north all the way to the south, Long Island is not well endowed with freshwater and consequently the W&SC provides most of the water supplied using a desalination plant located in the Mangrove Bush area. There is a small groundwater supply in Simms but this is due to be replaced by another desalination plant. At present the central Long Island supply extends from Greys down to Turtle Cove in the south but plans are in place to extend this system to Salt Pond in the north and to Clarence Town in the south. The W&SC also provides a tanker service which delivers water to all sectors of the island. Because Long Island has a low rainfall the tanker service is kept very busy for most of the year. Customer service is provided from an office in Mangrove Bush.

Frequently Asked Questions
In the past few years, we’ve made several improvements to our service to provide YOU with better water, including:
- Reducing Non-Revenue water so that water pressure could be stronger both at day and at night.
- 14,000 service lines have been replaced, over 650 water mains have been repaired and nearly 1,500 system valves have been cleaned.
- Extending water to services to more areas than ever before.
We’ve been working very hard to show we’re committed to growth, committed to quality. Give us a try; you’ll be glad you did.
Lots of people are surprised to find out we no longer barge water in to the capital, but instead use a reverse osmosis plant to turn salt water into fresh, potable water for use throughout the capital.
Our reverse osmosis plant provides 90% of the water used in New Providence and the water meets the World Health Organization’s guidelines for safe drinking water.

MIYA BAHAMAS AND WSC REDUCES WATER LOSS
WSC Partnership with Miya Saves Customers Millions
The Water and Sewerage Corporation (WSC) in partnership with Miya has significantly reduced water loss and leaks in New Providence and saved customers millions of dollars, according to Miya Bahamas’ project manager Emerciano Lopes.
The partnership stems back as far as 2013 when the Corporation saw a rise in non-revenue water (NRW).
“At the time, NRW was estimated at approximately 6.7 million gallons per day, representing around 56 percent of the total water supplied to New Providence,” Mr. Lopes explained.
“This level of water loss placed considerable strain on the Corporation, as the cost of producing and distributing water remained high while a substantial portion generated no revenue. Operationally, the system’s inefficiencies, particularly leakage and lack of system control, limited WSC’s ability to provide continuous 24-hour service to customers, resulting in intermittent and unreliable supply.
In this context, the partnership with Miya was both necessary and timely, as it aimed not only to systematically reduce NRW to sustainable levels, but also to modernize the network, improve service continuity, and strengthen the overall financial and operational viability of the Corporation.”
Compared to 2013 levels, non-revenue water has been reduced by approximately 4.2 million gallons per day, with results as of February 2026 bringing NRW down to around 2.6 million gallons per day.
WSC has worked with the company in 91 major thoroughfares in New Providence including Bay Street, Palmdale West, Fox Hill, Wulff Road, Prince Charles Drive, Soldier Road, Joe Farrington Road, Pinewood, Fort Fincastle, South Beach and Gladstone Road among others.
This reduction is not only a technical achievement, but also a reflection of a comprehensive, system-wide approach that combines continuous monitoring, active leakage control, pressure management, and targeted infrastructure improvements.
General Manager of the Water and Sewerage Corporation Robert Deal also touted the partnership with Miya.
“Through our partnership with Miya, we are taking decisive, data-driven steps to reduce water loss across New Providence. This collaboration is not just about fixing leaks – it’s about strengthening our infrastructure, improving efficiency, and delivering a more reliable and sustainable water supply for every resident we serve,” he said.
“Together, we are building a smarter, more resilient system for the future.”
Mr. Deal also advised on next steps.
“The next phase of this transformative process is the full transfer of technological expertise from MIYA to Bahamian leadership and direction. This transition is already well underway, and as the contract with MIYA concludes at the end of December 2026, our all-Bahamian team will assume full responsibility for the long-term design, operations, and maintenance of the New Providence non-revenue water programme,” he said.
Mr. Lopes said a key priority is ensuring that the gains achieved over the past decade are preserved and built upon.
This includes continuing to optimize network performance, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening resilience across the system.
“Equally important is the continued transfer of knowledge to the WSC team, ensuring they are fully equipped to independently manage all activities related to NRW reduction. Over the course of the project, WSC has undergone a significant internal transformation, evolving from a largely reactive operational approach to a more strategic, proactive, and data-driven management model,” he said.
“Through ongoing, hands-on training and daily collaboration, Miya has supported the development of stronger internal capabilities, enabling WSC teams to become more autonomous, skilled, and effective in managing the water network. Looking ahead, the focus remains on continuous improvement, long-term sustainability, and ensuring that WSC is fully empowered to sustain and further advance the progress achieved.”

NORTH ACKLINS WATER SUPPLY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 13th, 2026
New Providence, The Bahamas: The Water and Sewerage Corporation (WSC) is aware of a video circulating concerning water supply for the residents of North Acklins, particularly Chesters and Lovely Bay.
Please note that the video depicts an old, abandoned cistern in Chesters, North Acklins, which has been decommissioned after it was damaged during a prior storm many years ago.
WSC does not utilize this cistern in any aspect of its operations. Customers in the Chesters settlement are fed from the Lovely Bay Wellfield, which is distributed from a storage tank near the wellfield.
Presently, extensive works are underway in North Acklins to supply the residents of Lovely Bay, Chesters and neighbouring communities with high quality piped potable water via a new reverse osmosis plant at a cost of $930,000.
A WSC team is presently on the ground carrying out works and additional sub-contractors are being mobilized in conjunction with WSC teams to bring these works to a completion in the coming weeks.
WSC encourages the public to refrain from spreading untrue and inaccurate reports via social media, which can cause public anxiety. Instead, if there are concerns, we invite individuals to contact us to obtain the facts.
