PIPELINE INTER-CONNECTION WORK TO BE CARRIED OUT AT THE INTERSECTION OF WEST KING’S HOUSE ROAD AND CONSTANT SPRING ROAD

The National Water Commission (NWC) wishes to advise our valued customers, that major pipeline work along the Constant Spring Road will require the shutdown of operations at the Constant Spring Treatment Plant from 8 pm on Thursday, April 9, 2020, until 6 pm on Friday, April 10, 2020.

This planned disruption in supply is necessary to facilitate pipeline inter-connection work, which forms part of the final stages of the Major Infrastructure Development Programme’s pipeline work along Constant Spring Road in St Andrew. For this work period, one of two major final inter-connections will be made which involves the permanent decommissioning of the aged 500 mm cast iron pipeline and the commissioning of the newly laid 700 mm ductile iron pipelines.  The NWC will also re-establish the interconnection of the Constant Spring system with the Mona System.

In order to effectively carry out the improvement work, it is necessary to scale down operations and this will result in some customers experiencing a reduction in supply from 6:00 pm on Thursday, April 9.  The culmination of this work will see significant improvement in the consistency and reliability of water supply to customers.
