BWS has been managing water services on Ambergris Caye since October 1, 2026. On that date, water flooded the Embarcadero area of San Pedro Street. BWS stated that unusually high tides forced seawater into the wastewater system, causing a hydraulic overload, and insisted the incident was not due to equipment failure or sewage overflow.
