This project marks a major milestone in Grenada’s water sector and stands as a beacon of hope and resilience, arriving at a crucial time when the island faces the growing threats of climate change. In the face of rising sea levels, increasingly severe weather patterns, and environmental shifts, this initiative offers not just infrastructure improvements, but a renewed lifeline for residents and businesses, especially those within our critical tourism belt from Concord to the southern tip of the island.

For residents in these areas, the project promises improved access to safe, reliable water, upgraded sewerage disposal systems and strengthened climate resilience across key infrastructure. Beyond the tangible improvements, the project reinforces NAWASA’s commitment to the well-being and prosperity of the Grenadian people promoting a more secure, sustainable, and economically vibrant future for all.

In addition to the water-related enhancements, certain areas within the community of Concord which did not previously have an electricity supply will benefit from the access to this service. Through this project, that long-standing gap will finally be addressed, ushering in a new chapter of opportunity and equity for the area.

Over the past year, NAWASA has conducted multiple consultations with Concord residents to sensitize them to the project’s scope, timeline, and environmental and social impacts. As implementation draws near, NAWASA recognizes the continued need for engagement and transparency. We acknowledge that residents are seeking further clarification on certain aspects of the project, and as a responsible corporate citizen, we are committed to addressing these queries in the days ahead.

Stakeholder engagement remains a central pillar of the implementation strategy. Through continued dialogue, NAWASA seeks not only to inform but also to learn from the experiences of the communities it serves, ensuring that project delivery remains inclusive, responsive, and impactful.

NAWASA remains steadfast in its mission to strengthen Grenada’s water infrastructure while advancing national development goals and deepening community partnerships. This is more than infrastructure, it’s an investment in people, in sustainability, and in Grenada’s future.
