Customers served by the Mona Water Supply System will face further adjustments to their water supply as persistent dry conditions continue to reduce storage levels at the facility.
Effective Thursday, September 17, water will be supplied between 6:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. daily, according to the National Water Commission (NWC).
The commission said the Mona reservoir is now at 35.9 per cent of capacity and that it is carefully managing the remaining storage to maintain supplies for as long as possible.
The situation at Mona is part of a wider drought challenge affecting water systems across Jamaica. The NWC said 99 of its 450 water supply systems, or approximately 22 per cent, are currently being affected by drought conditions.
Customers are being urged to maintain adequate water storage for essential needs and continue practising water conservation.
The affected areas include sections of Liguanea, Cross Roads, Mountain View, Old Hope Road, Hope Flats, Papine, Gordon Town, Beverly Hills, Waterloo Road, Half-Way Tree, Vineyard Town, Manley Meadows, Windward Road, South Camp Road, Franklyn Town, New Kingston, downtown Kingston and Harbour View, among other communities.
