The Cayman Islands government is on track to break not one but two of its financial responsibility laws – opening the door for UK oversight.

Journalist Sarah Bridge has the details.
The Water Authority – Cayman is raising a glass to a long-awaited milestone — bringing piped water all the way to Spot Bay in Cayman Brac.

Increased mosquito activity expected for Easter weekend
Easter weekend may bring a greater quantity of mosquitoes across all three islands due to heavy rains earlier in the month, according to an advisory from the Mosquito Research and Control Unit.
Rainfall on 7 April and accompanying high tides caused flooding in low-lying areas, MRCU explained.
“These flooded areas are perfect places for mosquitoes to lay their eggs. Normally, mosquitoes start to hatch and become adults about 10 to 11 days after flooding, so we expect to see more mosquitoes by mid-April,” the unit said in a press release.
In response, MRCU is carrying out control operations to lessen the impact.
