Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe National Water Commission (NWC) is advising customers served by the Constant Spring
water supply system in Kingston and St. Andrew (KSA) that a relaxation of the current water
supply regulations will take effect on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.

This adjustment follows a sustained period of rainfall over the past two weeks, which has
resulted in significant improvements in inflows to the Hermitage Dam. Storage levels have
increased from below 65 per cent to approximately 90 per cent, allowing the Commission to move forward with the restoration of normal water supply arrangements.

Reading Time: 3 minutesThe Police Civilian Oversight Authority (PCOA) has reported that there is no evidence of a tuberculosis (TB) outbreak at police lock-ups in Jamaica’s Corporate Area, contradicting earlier concerns raised during the trial of defendants linked to the so-called Tesha Miller faction of the Klansman gang.

The infection scare prompted premature adjournments during the second sitting of the trial on February 5 after reports surfaced of possible infections at three lock-ups. The situation was considered serious enough for presiding judge Justice Dale Palmer to order that all 25 defendants in the matter receive medical attention. The judge also directed that defendants housed in facilities suspected of infections be relocated for the duration of the proceedings.
