The National Water Commission (NWC) is advising that several communities in Portmore, St. Catherine will be without water for several hours on Thursday.

The Agency states that a team will be carrying out scheduled network testing activities between the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The work will be carried out along Port Henderson Road and will impact the communities of Garvey Meade, West Meade, West Port, Edgewater, Bridgeview, Bridgeport, Fort Augusta Road, Bay Front, and Port Henderson Road.

Customers are being encouraged to store water for use during the period as they are likely to experience low pressure or no water.
