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.
