Trelawny, Jamaica — National Water Commission's (NWC's) stated that three communities in Trelawny are to benefit from improved water supply with the completion.

Under the Programme of NCW's Wakefield to Bunkers Hill Pipeline Replacement Project.

The newly approved potable water pipeline will benefit residents in Wakefield, Friendship, and Bunkers Hill.

NWC stated that 41 service connections had been installed while 50 per cent of the connections have been shifted to the new 150 mm pipeline.

In the meantime, there is an continuous effort to identify existing service connections that are to be assigned to the new pipeline, the commission told.

It stated that earlier to the implementation of the project, several sections of various communities along the route of the new pipeline were without the precious commodity.

Now, but, these residents are the beneficiaries of the new channels and receiving water in their taps at good pressures.

Meantime, delinquent customers in the respective communities are being urged to settle any outstanding stability on their account in order to be transferred to the new pipeline.

NWC said it is now treating as a priority the conversion of inactive accounts to active customers as part of a strategic measure to have more billed customers benefit from the new pipeline.
