The engagement formed part of the NWC’s continued efforts to promote collaboration with stakeholders and ensure the Manual provides practical, relevant guidance for navigating land development requirements.
#FeatureFriday | The National Water Commission recently hosted a stakeholder workshop on Sept. 24, 2026, at the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston to support the updating of its Developers’ Manual to reflect current standards and land development requirements.
The workshop provided an opportunity for developers and industry professionals to review the draft Manual, discuss key requirements, and share feedback to help strengthen the document.
NWC will restore supply as soon as conditions improve at the facility. Customers are encouraged to use available supplies conservatively during the disruption period.
The NWC apologizes for the inconvenience caused.
