The National Water Commission wishes to advise customers in sections of St. Catherine who are served by the Nutshell & Ewarton relift stations that the disruption they are experiencing in their water supply is due to operational challenges at these facilities.

The Commission is also advising customers in Upperfort A & B, Johnson Hill, Edge Hill, Hellshire Hills, Cave Hill, Hillshire Glades, Seaforth and Sand Hill in St. Catherine that the Braeton Relift Station which supplies water to their community is out of operation due to mechanical problems.  The repair works have been started and the system is expected back in operation by Thursday, June 28, 2012.
