The National Water Commission (NWC) says production has declined by 50% at facilities in St James and Hanover due to drought conditions.  

As a result, customers will experience intermittent water supply, low water pressure or no water conditions.

Affected facilities and areas served are:

Dantrout (St James) - Retrieve, Marchman Road, Seaford Town, St Lennards, Bridgewater and surrounding areas.

New Milns (Hanover) - New Milns, Haddington, Cacoon Nyerere Farm, Watford Hill, Welcome Woodland and surrounding areas.

The commission is urging customers to store water for use during this period and advises that normal operations will resume as soon as the condition
improves.
