Abstract | The Wessex Water Authority (United Kingdom) assisted the Central Water Authority in St. Lucia to improve the management and operation of that island's water supply system. It was a twinning between the Authorities whereby the Wessex staff became an integrated part of the Central Authority management, and reciprocally, St. Lucian staff trained in Wessex. The assistance provided during 1980-1982 included a reorganization of staff structure. Water wastage was reduced by technical improvements in the water supply system. The introduction of efficient accounting and a computer billing system resulted in a surplus of $16,000 in 1982 compared to a deficit of $110,000 in 1979. |
