Jamaica Water Project Commences

Exploratory drilling works have begun in anticipation of the new pipeline from Bog Walk in St Catherine to Kingston, Jamaica.

The project is part of the JMD$17bn ($193m) Jamaica water sector improvement programme to end the potable water problems affecting the Kingston Metropolitan Area.

Samples from bore holes are currently being examined and 70,000 new water meters will be put in for customers.

The project is being spearheaded by Jamaica’s National Water Commission.
