Acknowledging the challenges faced, FENAKA stated it had prioritised the establishment and maintenance of essential services in the islands despite financial constraints. Special efforts were made to ensure uninterrupted services and enhance infrastructure.

The company reported over 31,092 active water connections, supported by a daily fresh water production capacity of 10,661 tonnes. Production capacity was further increased by 564 tonnes per day in five islands last year. Additionally, 360 new households were connected to the water network.

To improve sustainability, FENAKA integrated 22 islands into a new billing system introduced in September 2023. This system aims to provide more efficient and reliable water services.
