What is the Caribbean Water Operators Conference (CWOC)?

The CAWASA Water Operators’ Conference is designed as a platform for water operators to discuss real issues and practical solutions, as well as cultivate innovations and inspire synergies to address present and future challenges in the Caribbean’s Water and Sewerage sectors.

The 7th Water Operators Conference will be held in Barbados from June 25–27, 2025 in collaboration with the host utility, the Barbados Water Authority (BWA).
