Government to modernise Jamaica’s 80-year-old water distribution network

Minister of Water, Environment and Climate Change, Matthew Samuda, has outlined significant initiatives being implemented by the Government to modernise the nation’s 80-year-old water distribution network and enhance long-term climate resilience. He outlined the state of the existing infrastructure and the critical interventions needed to address its challenges, during a Post-Cabinet Press Briefing at Jamaica House on September 30. Samuda said one of the key strategies involves tackling water loss across the island through a 10-year water project.
