BVIEC & W&SD to merge in 2025
This was announced by Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) during the 2025 Budget Address on Monday, November 11, 2024, during the Twenty-first Sitting of the First Session of the Fifth House of Assembly (HoA).
“This merger will consolidate skillsets and leverage the established leadership and infrastructure of BVIEC to promote efficient water production, transmission and distribution as well as effective collection and disposal of wastewater,” Premier Wheatley said.
More effective W&SD
He explained that the new organisational structure will emphasise accountability and agility to ensure that the evolving needs of the territory are met effectively.
According to the Premier, the merger is part of the government’s third national goal, which is high-quality and resilient infrastructure and access to sustainable services.
“This is crucial for economic development and in 2025 my government will continue pressing forward with efforts to improve the Territory’s infrastructure to deliver reliable services to residents and to transition to sustainable energy,” the Premier said.

Even if Mr Smith.of BVIElectrjc heads up the merger water's employees trained andcembeddex in doing what does not work,will be a challenge to the whole. Not a good Idea un l ess the efficiency could be guaranteed.
We must find creative ways to handle our affairs that will work for us not based on what other countries have done or doing. We can start by first placing competent and qualified persons in positions that will manage effectively.
All of these type of adjustments that are being made will only be a financial burden and loss for the territory. It will only have the appearance of something being done while consuming valuable time but accomplishing very little.
A possible good idea implemented at the wrong time is a bad idea.
