NWC Working on KMA Water Project

June 6, 2008

The Full Story

The National Water Commission (NWC) is now working on the Kingston Metropolitan Area (KMA) Water Supply and Rehabilitation Project, at a cost of US$85 million (J$6 billion).
The NWC is also working on the Kingston Water Supply and Sanitation Project at a cost of US$55 million (J$3.9 billion) and the Harmony Hall/Braco to Runaway Bay Water Supply Project at a cost of US$17 million (J$1.2 billion).
“These are not the only projects that the Commission has in the pipeline. There is the Kellits/Crofts Gate Water Supply, the Portland Cottage to Portland Point Pipeline, the Santa Cruz Well Site Development, the Dalintober to Sandy Ground Water Supply and the Birds Hill/Chateau/Palmers Cross Water Supply, to name a few,” Minister of Water and Housing, Dr. Horace Chang said, during his presentation in the 2008/09 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives, yesterday (June 4).
In addition, Dr. Chang informed that the Greater Mandeville region would shortly have an improved water supply, as after a lengthy delay, the Ministry was finally in the process of acquiring a well at Pepper.
“If we are unable to complete the negotiations in a timely manner, we will be acquiring the property through compulsory acquisition,” Dr. Chang said.
