NWC exploring further restrictions, Kingston and St Andrew water levels continue to drop

The National Water Commission (NWC) is currently discussing options for further water restrictions amidst a decrease in the water supply levels.

Corporate Public Relations Manager at the NWC, Charles Buchanan says the agency is monitoring the situation closely and will advise of any further restrictions.

Buchanan says the matter was raised at a drought management meeting held yesterday by the leadership of the utility company.

Buchanan says water levels at reservoirs which serve the Kingston and St Andrew area have been falling continuously since the advent of the drought.

He says the rate of decline in water levels has been contained since the introductions of the restrictions.

However, Buchanan says the situation remains serious at the Mona Reservoir and Hermitage Dam.
