Hope filter plant properly treated says NWC

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.

High Command- Police should be properly identified

The Police High Command has responded to recent incidents in the St. Elizabeth Division, in which unscrupulous persons have purported to be members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF).   

In a statement yesterday, the High Command urged the public to ensure that proper identification is sought from members of  the Force to ensure that they are operating within the precincts of  the law.                 

It said members of the JCF also have a responsibility to identify themselves when carrying out duties, and be properly identified by their ID cards and badge numbers, which appear on uniforms.

It’s reported that, in one incident last week, a farmer in Santa Cruz was held at gun point and robbed at her home by men posing as policemen. The woman was not injured.
