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.

Bark Di Trute Comments On The Behavious Of Some Parliamentarians

Many Jamaicans are becoming disgusted with the behaviour of some parliamentarians. There was a time when you would accuse one or two members of parliament who were bringing the position of parliamentarian into dispute, but now the number is growing.

This cannot be allowed to continue. You are elected to lead and not to become rabble-rousers who have no respect for protocol. For example, I am shocked that some members of parliament do not understand what a point of order is. That is something many of us learned in high school. 

Giving the excuse that you are not children and you should be treated differently does not hold water. Children are not expected to know better, but you should. If you do not respect authority and the rules, then what do you expect from the people you lead?

Nuclear Energy - Time fi Tune een Jamaica

Contribued 

Michael Spence

An all-island power outage must be a wake-up call for all Jamaicans. The nation runs almost entirely on imported oil. 

That leaves our electricity bills at the mercy of others and global oil prices. We need to ask, "Has anyone seriously considered nuclear reactors to generate electricity right here at home?"

We already have the starting point. The University of the West Indies has operated a research reactor for decades. That means local expertise exists. The U.S. Navy’s aircraft carrier USS Nimitz runs 10 to 20 years on one nuclear fuel load without refueling. 

If it works at sea, the model is worth studying on land.

Yes, nuclear plants cost more upfront than oil plants. Nuclear power per kilowatt-hour is much cheaper than oil over the life of the plant. France gets about 60% of its electricity from nuclear and keeps costs stable. We can learn from that.

Right now, all our eggs are in the oil basket. We should phase in nuclear, 10% at a time, as part of a diversified mix with solar, coal, gas, and oil. No single source, no single investor. 

Over time, we could aim for 60% nuclear. That would cut electricity costs and make Jamaica more competitive globally.

The UWI reactor shows we’re not starting from zero. We should study it, scale the lessons, and make nuclear part of our strategic energy plan. 

Energy sovereignty is the goal. Time fi tune even to the nuclear energy option.

Alert - Ladies This Is Serious!

This is a ladies' alert. Many of you are worried about losing your man to another woman when you are actually going to lose your man to PC (Prostate Cancer). Men are scared of going to the doctor, so I am using this medium to appeal to the ladies to ensure that your spouse and all your male relatives and friends go to the doctor to check on their prostate gland.

Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Jamaican men, accounting for over 40% of all male cancer diagnoses. 1,500 to 1,600 new cases are diagnosed every year in Jamaica. Yes, prostate cancer is nuff nuff eena Jumaica.

This evening I decided to do a bit of exercise and to walk around the block. I decided to speak to the men I saw about prostate cancer. It is amazing how little they know about this cancer. Only one man told me that he was tested and that he is OK. Some friends of a man told me that their friend is in intense pain with prostate cancer and his time on earth is limited. He was one of those who did not do what he was supposed to do.

I am appealing to you all, especially the ladies, to send this message to at least 10 or more males. This matter is very serious. You might lose your man, your relative, and other male relatives and friends to prostate cancer if they do not act now. If they wait too long, then mercy gone, the undertaker is at the door, and all you can do at that time is put yu han pan yu head an bawl, "Lawd Jesus, how him just dead so?" When you wait too long, obeah man cannot help you, bush medicine cannot help you, and only God can ease you from your pain.

The prostate is a small gland in the male reproductive system. Let your doctor do a PSA test or a physical examination to ascertain if further checks need to be done.

If it is suspected that you have prostate cancer, the doctor will let you do a biopsy to confirm the presence of the cancer. If you have reached a certain age and if the cancer is not aggressive, then the doctor might just give you medications.

To check if it has spread to other parts of the body, the urologist might request that you do an MRI and a bone scan.

The doctor might then advise you to remove the prostate and/or do chemotherapy and other treatment, depending on the stage of the cancer and how aggressive it is.

The doctor might even put you on drugs to reduce the level of testosterone produced, which I understand encourages cancer growth.

Those who have ears to hear, let them hear. Those who have ears and will not hear will feel.

This article was not intended to give you medical advice. It is meant to encourage you to make sure that males close to you are tested for prostate cancer.
