The National Water Commission (NWC) is assuring customers served by the Hope Filter Plant in St. Andrew, that supplies from the facility are properly treated.
Earlier this week, there were reports that customers were receiving discoloured water.
However, Charles Buchanan the NWC’s Corporate Public Relations Manager, said the system was shut down on Monday, to facilitate an investigation.
“We investigated and identified some contributory causes to the discolouration and we have dealt with those and the system is back in operation. However there may be some customers will see some levels of discolouration and brown water especially because we have to shut down the system and start it up back.
We may be doing repairs on the pipeline because we want to make sure all the leaks are fixed,” said Buchanan.
