NWC implements regulatory measures for Constant Spring Water System in St. Andrew

The National Water Commission (NWC) says it will implement regulatory measures for the Constant Spring Water System in St. Andrew effective today.

In a statement, NWC noted that despite rainfall experienced over the past several days, water levels at the Hermitage Dam continue to decline and are now approaching the critical threshold at 65%.

It said this decline has necessitated measures to preserve available supplies.

NWC added that the measures are aimed at ensuring equitable distribution and sustaining services across affected communities during this period of reduced inflows.

Under this regulation schedule, the Constant Spring System has been divided into two zones:

Upper Constant Spring, which includes areas located above the Ministry of Justice, and Lower Constant Spring, which is comprised of areas situated below the Ministry.

Upper areas will receive service from 6 P.M. to 6 A.M., while lower areas will receive service from 6 A.M. to 6 P.M.

Meanwhile, NWC said the Mona Reservoir System continues to be monitored but remains relatively stable at approximately 85% capacity.

Normal operations will be maintained for areas served by this system.
