Water and Sewerage Corporation

The Water and Sewerage Corporation, also known by its acronym WSC, is the national utility responsible for water and sewerage services in the Bahamas. Headquartered in the Bahamas, the corporation operates under a mandate to provide potable water supply and wastewater management to residents and businesses. As the primary provider of these essential services, WSC ensures the treatment, distribution, and collection of water across the archipelago. Its role encompasses both urban centers and more remote islands, reflecting a nationwide service obligation. The organization functions under governmental oversight to maintain public health and environmental standards related to water resources.

On March 1, 2025, the Water and Sewerage Corporation experienced a ransomware cyber‑attack that resulted in an unauthorized breach of its internal data systems. Upon detection, the corporation’s internal IT team collaborated with external cybersecurity experts to isolate the affected systems and close the exploited vulnerability.

WSC has stated that there is no evidence indicating that customer data was accessed during the incident. The corporation advised customers to remain vigilant for suspicious communications and affirmed that it continues to monitor the situation to ensure complete system security.
