All drinking water from the tap in Curacao has been from a huge desalination plant for many years, see also [1].
There's a shortage of water alright, but not drinking water.
I don't know anything about this story, but when I just asked a friend who lives down there it was not known to him.
When I showed him the article he said that it reads more like a first of April joke as anything serious.
For the record, it does not happen much, but it has been raining down there now for 2 whole days.
