KINGSTON, Jamaica – National Water Commission (NWC) says it will begin to implement water supply restrictions for sections of Kingston and St Andrew, starting on Monday, July 21, 2025 for the Mona and Hope networks, and Wednesday, July 23 for the Constant Spring network.

“This decision follows significantly reduced inflows to our major water storage facilities, driven by the drought conditions that are currently affecting sections of the island,” the NWC said in a release on its website.

According to the utility provider, as at July 18, 2025, storage levels at the Mona Reservoir and Hermitage Dam declined to 46.3 per cent and 58.3 per cent, respectively, prompting the need for more stringent water supply management measures.

“The NWC’s careful and proactive management has successfully maintained consistent service until now, despite the significant decrease in inflows,” the service provider said, adding that it is presently implementing measures over the short to medium term to improve system resilience aimed at mitigating the adverse impacts of the annual dry seasons.

The NWC said it recognises that these regulations will require adjustments to domestic routines and business operations, and said it is asking customers for their patience and understanding during this challenging period.

The current regulations are expected to remain in place until rainfall conditions improve, which is anticipated by the heights of the rainy season in September/October, NWC said.
