KINGSTON, Jamaica — Residents in sections of St Catherine and the Corporate Area are without regular water supply due to electrical problems affecting two systems.
The Tulloch Springs system is experiencing power supply issues resulting in low water pressure or no water in areas served by the system.
The affected areas include Spanish Town Road and all roads leading off, Molynes Road and all roads leading off, Washington Boulevard and all roads leading off, Sections of Downtown Kingston, Kent Village, Hamilton Gardens, Christian Gardens, Christian Pen, Newland Road, Cumberland, Cedar Grove, Edgewater, Waterford, Gregory Park, Braeton, Independence City, Hellshire, Eltham Acres, Eltham, Greendale, Keystone, St Jago Gardens, Patten Park, Richard Hall, Waterloo Gardens and Ensom Acres.
