Aruba - Water & Electricity

WATER & ELECTRICITY

There is no need to buy bottled water in Aruba, the island's tap water is pure and refreshing , distilled in the world's second largest saltwater desalination plant. Oil is refined on the island's southwest coast and a by-product of this process is abundant pure drinking water and electricity. The plant is called the WEB, and there are many requests to tour the plant that is located in Balashi (tel. (297) 582-4700).

ELECTRICITY

Rarely is there a power failure and the island has decided to adopt the North American voltage standard of 110 A.C. (60 cycles), the same as in the United States and Canada. The TV standard is NTSC so your home video camera will also play back on the hotel's TV sets or large screen projectors.
