We haven’t built a dam… since the 1920s
Garfield Higgins points out that the Hermitage Dam was built in the 1920s and the Mona Reservoir in the 1940s when the population of Kingston and Port Royal was 103,713 and that of St Andrew stood at 120,067.
Now, in 2014, the population is estimated to be just a shade below 760,000 persons in Kingston and St Andrew.
But guess what; we still have only the Mona and Hermitage water storage facilities to serve a more than 150 per cent increase in the Corporate Area population. — Pages 6 & 7
