Segment Details
Retail revenues for second-quarter 2021 decreased 4.9% year over year to $5.7 million. This reflects a 12% decrease in the volume of water sold by Cayman Water due to the closing of Grand Cayman Island to tourists in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bulk revenues came in at $6.7 million for second-quarter 2021, up 14.1% from the prior-year figure. The increase in revenues was due to a 7% increase in the volume of water sold by CW-Bahamas.
