San Pedro sewer and water system to be upgraded

In related development news, San Pedro, Ambergris Caye will see water and sewer services extended to the north side of the island town. According to a release from Belize Water Services Limited, B.W.S. will begin the first stage of what promises to be a thirty million dollar expansion of the present system. Under the terms of the memorandum of understanding signed today, Consolidated Water, the Caymanian based company that runs the caye’s desalination system, will provide one point five million dollars in bridge financing to B.W.S. to begin the initial works in the Boca del Rio area. The project will eventually extend to the rapidly developing part of the caye north of the river.
