KINGSTON, Jamaica — The National Water Commission (NWC) has reported a temporary water supply disruption affecting the Steer Town and Chalky Hill areas of St Ann.
The utility issued the advisory on Thursday, October 22, 2026, identifying an internal electrical issue as the cause of the disruption.
The notice available on NWC’s official advisory listing does not establish a confirmed restoration time. Customers in the affected areas should check the utility’s latest notices for service updates rather than assume that normal supply has resumed.
