Effective Monday, September 4, 2023, the National Water Commission (NWC) will be implementing an adjusted water supply schedule for customers served by the Mona Water Treatment Plant in St Andrew.
With drought conditions persisting and little to no rainfall in the Corporate Area, inflows to the Mona Reservoir have been woefully low with catchment levels at the facility reaching 34.3% or 277.5 million gallons as at September 1, 2023.
The conditions are similar at the Hermitage Dam where catchment levels are at 39.5% or 155.6 million gallons.
Based on these declining storage levels, a further reduction in the supply times for customers served by the Mona Water Treatment Plant has become necessary.
The following supply times become effective on Monday, September 4, 2023.
