KINGSTON, Jamaica — The National Water Commission (NWC) has reintroduced a water supply schedule for sections of St Andrew that are serviced by the Constant Spring Treatment Plant.

The NWC said the adjustment is a result of on-going monitoring of the water supply system in a bid to provide regular service, at prescribed pressures during the supply times.

The NWC noted that a lack of rainfall over the past few months has caused a significant reduction in inflows to the plant.

The commission said that the inflows for this month have also been less than the average volumes for previous years.

“If this trends continues, the NWC is expecting that the storage levels will be further depleted, hence the need for restrictions at this time,” the commission said in a statement.
