Power supply issue affecting some NWC customers in Trelawny

TRELAWNY, Jamaica – The National Water Commission (NWC) is advising customers served by the Old Martha Brae Treatment Plant in Trelawny that the current disruption in their regular water supply is due to a single phase power supply issue at the facility.

Affected areas include Falmouth, Rock, Cooper’s Pen, Royalton Hotel, Salt Marsh, Davis Pen, Wiltshire, Scarlett Hall, Martha Brae, Daniel Town and environs.

NWC in a release on Thursday said full operations will resume as soon as the issue is rectified by the power supply provider, and says it regrets any inconvenience caused.
