MP Morland Wilson's Presentation To Parliament
In his presentation to parliament recently, MP Wilson reminded the house that in his 2021 report to this honourable house, about eighteen (18) communities were without regular potable water in the constituency. He also reminded house members that he reported that sections of Blackness, his hometown, had been without water for 30 years. He informed the house also that Blackness is fully connected, and that all sections of Blackness now have water
MP Morland told the house that on Thursday, August 25, 2022, at 2:00 pm, he joined Minister The Hon. Matthew Samuda in commissioning the Nonpareil/Retirement/Orange Hill Water Project. This water project cost JAD475 million and it serves over nine thousand (9,000) residents in nine (9) communities and districts.
The MP said that he toured the Moreland Hill community with the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development – The Hon Desmond McKenzie, to scope the possibility of implementing a water system for some 9,000 residences. Moreland Hill is the home of many small businesses, Moreland Hill Primary and Infant School and the world-renowned Jamaica Giants Sculpture Park & Art Gallery. MP Morland said that he knows that residents have been waiting for over 60 years, but it’s only two years since the community has a working MP, so he is asking the residents to be a bit more patient.
The MP went on to say that it is often said water is life and residents, businesses, and hoteliers in Negril have been waiting with bated breath for the Negril Water Improvement Project. This new system he said, will pump water from Roaring River to Negril; which will pass through the five (5) electoral Divisions; Friendship, Grange Hill, Little London, Sheffield, and terminate in Negril.

Morland Wilson said something i know for a fact is totally lie. He said sections of Blackness was without portable water for 30 years and that is a blatant lie told in the houses. Morland Wilson is my neighbor we both born grew up in that that district and while grewing up their in the 1980s people never had portable water, we have buy water from water truck and when they dont have the money to do so they have to go to river or wait until rain fall to full up our drums. It was in 1995 under the pnp government people start getting running water in their home and since then pipe water never stop flowing in Blackness
