What's Happening - June 17, 2026

Today, Bark The Truth highlights some areas in Kingston that should get immediate attention. The challenges highlighted in this blog send a message to the citizens that no one cares about them. If you are going to fix the road, you should put up a notice on the sidewalk indicating when work will be done on the road. The police can send an Emergency Alert to all media houses to inform the public about the work to be done and the challenges one might experience in the areas where work is being done.

Someone could end up falling into an uncovered manhole and incurring major damage. My understanding is that if you start to work on the road, the government could incur civil liability if a citizen is hurt based on the condition that the area was left in. 

Papine 

Recently, I had to pass by Papine Square on my way to the UWI hospital. The place seemed chaotic with the buses, taxis, and the people milling around. Some people were trying to get a transport, while others were looking to items from the market. We need more buses to carry the bulk of passengers on our roads, and markets should be built in appropriate areas. 

We should not be using the roads as transport centres. We need to build a modern market in Papine with a few floors for the buses and taxis to park and pick up passengers. The same thing should have applied to the transport centre in Halfway Tree.

The next shocking thing is that some clown decided to fix Golding Avenue, leading from Papine Square to the UWI hospital. They were fixing the roads during peak traffic time. The situation was chaotic. Areas like this should be fixed at night or on a Sunday afternoon.

MP Fayval Williams is responsible for this area.

A developing little Riverton City dump.

Citizens lost valuable time in this traffic.

The taxi was parked on the sidewalk.

The construction continues across from the UWI Hospital. No one can stop them.

Which senior NWA person was supervising the work?

Mulgrave Lane Citizens Crying For Help

I cannot believe that the road in an area can be in this state. Does this fall under the NWA, which Mr. Hunter is in charge of?

I received this report from a citizen in the area about the road:

That is the road condition of the road in my community of Mulgrave Lane off Slipe Road in the Kingston 5 area near Cross Roads

The National Water Commission NWC came and dugged up the road yesterday saying they will be laying new pipes in the community and left us without water and nobody can not drive in or out of their yard and  residents can not even find anywhere to walk on the road. Also there are 2 elderly sick person living on road incase there is an emergency there is no way we can rush with them to the hospital.

The MP is Mark  Golding

 Harbour View

In Harbour View, there is an uncovered manhole that poses a danger to people and motorists. Mrs Juliet Holness is the MP for that area. I hope she can bring pressure on the NWA to get this dealt with.

NWC Update For 2026/06/14

 Press Release From The NWC - June 14, 2026

Overnight Regulated Supply Schedule Implemented for Some Constant Spring Facility Service Areas 

In an effort to stem the continued water supply interruptions being experienced by some customers supplied by the Constant Spring Water Treatment Facility in St. Andrew, the National Water Commission is implementing an overnight regulated supply schedule between 6:00 pm and 6:00 am, effective this evening, Sunday, June 14, 2026, until further notice. 

The regulated supply schedule between 6:00 pm and 6:00 am will apply to the following communities only: 

Central Avenue, Honey Hill, Beverlydale, upper sections of Constant Spring Road, Roehampton and nearby areas, Highland Drive and nearby areas, upper Waterloo, Donmair, Mannings Hill Road, Patrick City, West Avenue, Queensborough, Queensbury, Molynes Road, Molynes Gardens, Perkins, White Hall Avenue, Duhaney Park, Pembroke Hall, Sullivan Avenue, Swansea Avenue, Oaklands, sections of Hughenden, Valentine Gardens and surrounding areas.

The NWC previously reported a technical issue at the facility. That issue has caused a reduction in inflows. As a result, supply distribution will be limited and not all areas on the schedule will receive water simultaneously.  Depending on elevation and location, some customers may experience low water pressure or intermittent supply throughout the period while the system recharges.

The NWC will provide an updated restoration timeline once the extent of repairs is confirmed.

Customers requiring trucked water assistance may request service by contacting NWC Customer Care toll-free at 888-225-5692.

The National Water Commission sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience and thanks customers for their patience and understanding as our teams work to restore regular supply. For updates, customers may call toll-free 888-225-5692 or visit NWC Jamaica @nwcjam on all social media platforms.
