Scores of residents in several Corporate Area communities are set to experience a significant improvement in their water supply as the new 600 mm pipeline at Ferry in St Andrew is now in operation.
The National Water Commission (NWC) says the new system serves communities along Washington Boulevard up to Dunrobin Avenue, where it interconnects with the recently commissioned 700 mm diameter transmission main that was laid along Constant Spring Road.
NWC president, Mark Barnett, who recently toured the area, said he sympathised with those who had little of the precious commodity, especially during the 2018 yuletide season.
Barnett further emphasised the importance of the new pipeline, which is not only part of the NWC’s comprehensive plans for efficient distribution of the commodity, but also part of broader efforts to build resiliency and reliability within the network.
Our customers rightly demand the best service, the NWC is mindful of that, I am very mindful of that, and so these achievements are geared towards satisfying the demands of the people we serve,” Barnett said.
