Published:Tuesday | October 2, 2018 | 11:37 AM

The National Water Commission (NWC) is reporting that production at its Worcester facility in St James has reduced by 50 percent due to drought conditions.

The NWC says customers in sections of the parish are therefore either experiencing low pressure or periods without piped water.

The affected areas include Worcester, Johns Hall, Black Shop, Lottery, Potosi, Village, and surrounding areas.
