12-hour water supply rotation for dozens of St Andrew communities
Published:Thursday | December 4, 2025 | 9:13 PM
The National Water Commission (NWC) has implemented a temporary water regulation schedule for St Andrew customers served by the Constant Spring Treatment Facility with immediate effect. The measure is due to electro-mechanical issues affecting the raw-water conveyance system at the plant.
Under the new arrangement, water supply will be provided on a 12-hour alternating basis until further notice, it said in a statement on Thursday evening.
Under the schedule, upper Constant Spring Road areas will receive water from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. These include sections of Duhaney Park, Patrick City, Pembroke Hall, Queensbury, Queensborough, Hughenden, Molynes Gardens, Molynes Road, Red Hills Road, Washington Boulevard, Perkins Boulevard, Meadowbrook Estate, Manning’s Hill Road, Camperdown, Dunrobin Avenue, Constant Spring Road, Oakland, Havendale, Arlene Gardens, Grants Pen and Shortwood Road.
Lower Constant Spring Road communities will be supplied from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. These include Eastwood Park Road, Cassia Park, Waltham Park Road, Chisholm Avenue, Half-Way Tree, Hagley Park Road, Maxfield Avenue, Moreton Park, Half-Way Tree Road, Richmond Park, Cockburn Gardens, Kencot and Whitfield Town.
The NWC says corrective work is underway and is urging customers to use water conservatively during the regulation period.
