Water supply regulations to be implemented for Hope and Mona systems

 Press Release From The National Water Commission - 2024/06/22:

With storage levels declining rapidly, customers served by the National Water Commission’s Mona and Hope water treatment facilities will be impacted by water supply regulations, starting Monday, June 24, 2024.

Today, Saturday, June 22, 2024, the Mona Reservoir in St Andrew is at 66.1% of its capacity or 534.8 million gallons, with the storage levels decreasing quickly. Similarly, limited inflows have been contributing to declining storage levels at the Hope Water Treatment Plant.

In light of this, the NWC has been forced to implement water supply regulations as a way of managing the water supply across the network.

These measures will become effective on Monday, June 24, 2024 

 *Mona Treatment Plant System

6 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily* 

Papine, Gordon Town, Beverly Hills, Ravina, Mona Road, Devon Square, Waterloo Road, Cassia Park, Eastwood Park Road, Half-Way Tree Road, Upper Maxfield Avenue, Vineyard Town, Manley Meadows, Windward Road, Glenmore Road, South Camp Road, Franklyn Town, Downtown Kingston and Harbour View

Hope Treatment System

6 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily

Hope Pastures, Mona, Liguanea, sections of Barbican, Kintyre, Gordon Town, Mona Heights, Goldsmith Villa and August Town

The NWC understands that challenges may arise as a result of the adjustments to the distribution of the supply. However, every effort is being made to manage the storage levels so that customers may have access to water supply for longer periods.

In the meantime, the Commission will continue to monitor the Mona and Hope systems and provide updates as necessary. Customers are also encouraged to conserve and store water during the supply periods.
