NWC to begin restricting water supply in KSA on Monday

Water supply regulations will go into effect for sections of the Kingston and St Andrew (KSA), starting on Monday, July 21, for the Mona and Hope networks, and Wednesday, July 23, for the Constant Spring network.

The National Water Commission (NWC) says the decision follows significantly reduced inflows to its major water storage facilities, driven by the drought conditions that are currently affecting sections of the island.

As at July 18, storage levels at the Mona Reservoir and Hermitage Dam declined to 46.3 per cent and 58.3 per cent, respectively.

Additionally, the NWC says it is implementing measures over the short to medium term to improve system resilience aimed at mitigating the adverse impacts of the annual dry seasons.

"The NWC recognises that these regulations will require adjustments to domestic routines and business operations, and we ask our valued customers for their patience and understanding as we work through this challenging period," the company says.

It informs that the regulations are expected to remain in place until rainfall conditions improve, which is anticipated by the September/October rainy season.

Customers affected by the water supply regulations are encouraged to store water for use outside of the scheduled supply hours and to practice conservation measures wherever possible.
