Abstract | The St. Lucia Central Water Authority was paired with the Wessex Water Authority of the United Kingdom to solve its engineering, accounting and managerial difficulties. The twinning, which took place from 1980-1986, allowed the St. Lucia authority to become a self-sufficent, solvent operation. There were significant increases in water production, water revenues and water quality tests, and there was a marked drop in unccounted-for-water and budget deficits. |
