St Lucia has become the latest Caribbean country to implement water rationing measures as the region continues to feel the effects of a prolonged dry period.
The government has approved the fourth water-related emergency in the past 10 years.
Chief Executive Officer of the Water and Sewerage Company, Zilta George-Leslie, said once the order is published in the official Gazette, anyone who contravenes the measure would be committing an offence.
She said a fine would also be imposed daily for breaches.
