Summary
Barbadians are turning to water storage tanks as public supply falters, with residents across key parishes scrambling to secure backup water amid frequent outages and low pressure. The government’s VAT and customs duty waivers—extended until March 2028—have made these systems more affordable, fueling a surge in sales at hardware stores. Popular tank sizes range from 450 to 1,000 gallons, with homeowners also investing in pumps and filters to make the systems functional. Whether reacting to recent disruptions, preparing for hurricane season, or simply seeking reliable access to clean water, Barbadians are building resilience—one tank at a time.
