Local Utilities

Telecommunications service is provided to all three islands by Cable and Wireless (Cayman Islands) Ltd. Due to the wide range of international companies operating in the Cayman Islands and the demands that they have for state-of-the-art telecommunications services, Cable and Wireless continues to invest in new products and services to ensure that their demands are met. Telecommunication services are very reliable and the most recent introduction was digital cellular service.

Electricity is supplied to the general population on Grand Cayman is supplied by Caribbean Utilities Company Ltd. (CUC) under a licence from the Government. Visitors to the islands should note that we use 110/115 volts in the same configuration as the USA and Canada. The Sister Islands of Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are supplied with power by Cayman Brac Power and Light (CBPL), and also use 110/115 volts.

Water supply in the islands is serviced by a piped water network, the water being desalinated sea water made by reverse osmosis. Most guest accommodation establishments are connected to "city water".
