The National Water Commission (NWC) is advising that frequent fluctuations in the power supply to the Tulloch Springs/Rio Cobre Water Supply System is affecting service to customers in Kingston, St Andrew and St Catherine.
The company says the power supply interruptions have worsened the impact of the prolonged drought.
It says the mechanical failure at one of the sources has resulted in a shortfall of more than 3 million gallons of water each day on the Tulloch Springs/Rio Cobre Water Supply System.
It says some customers in Kingston, St Andrew and St Catherine either have no water, intermittent supply or are experiencing low water pressure.
The areas affected include sections of Portmore, downtown Kingston, communities off Washington Boulevard, Molynes Road, and Spanish Town Road.
The NWC says the problem has been reported to the Jamaica Public Service and work is being done to return to normal operation in the shortest possible time.
