Drought brings water disruption to sections of Hanover, Westmoreland

Published:Thursday | April 16, 2020 | 10:07 AM

The National Water Commission (NWC) is reporting that low inflow at its Logwood Treatment Plant in Hanover, brought on by drought, has resulted in a 50 per cent decline in production at the facility.

As a result, customers in Hanover and Westmoreland, who are served by the system will experience either low water pressure or have no water, particularly between 12 midnight and 4:00 a.m. daily. 

The areas likely to be affected include Sheffield, Green Island, Cauldwell, March Town, Haughton Court, Logwood, West Land Mountain, West End, Negril and Red Ground.
