Water is life, but some citizens have been dying to get a drop of water since last night in Kingston. Constant Spring and surrounding areas are now without water. The National Water Commission says that it expects water to return by 2100 EST today. That is 9:00 pm.
Inflows into the system has decreased and this is negatively impacting the flow to some areas.
Major housing developments are now taking place across the city, and one wonders if the system will be able to adequately supply water to the various new buildings, some of which are high rise buildings.
Interesting days and months are ahead!
Please add your comments below. This blog will be sent to the Minister and the Head of the NWC for them to see your comments. Please share this blog with as many persons as possible.

DeleteIt's about time to start teaching the 24 hour clock in schools, plus time zones, but emphasizing that Jamaica remains on EST Year-round.
ReplyDeleteWater lock-off every single night in Kgn 6/Barbican, flood or drought. No sewer main to connect to. Can't believe one has to dig a pit in this area in this day and age. We give lip service to talk of the environment
ReplyDeleteWhen are we starting to pressure the government to start building new water catchments???? Where will the water supply come from with all these new monstrous housing complexes???
ReplyDeleteIn the land of wood and water? This problem has persisted and willl become worse. Careful integrated long term planning is required. Otherwise,the problem wil become "worse-er-er-er". Already a major error, we should not make it worse.
