St. Catherine WS Pplan – October 12 2011 1 Draft St. Catherine WS PPLan – October 12 2011 1.0 Introduction St. Catherine is located in the south-eastern section of Jamaica. Its western boundary is with the parish of Clarendon. The eastern boundary follows part of the Ferry River as well as borders with St. Mary and St. Andrew. The northern boundary is with St. Ann and St. Mary. The Caribbean Sea borders St. Catherine to the south. National Water Commission (NWC) produces over 1 billion gallons of water per month in St. Catherine through thirty – four (34) wells and five (5) surface sources. The average billed volume is only 300 million gallons per month which translates to an average non-revenue water (NRW) of 700 million gallons per month i.e. 70% of production. This unacceptable level of NRW has had an adverse impact on the level of service provided to the people of the parish and on its financial performance and that of NWC. NWC now provides water to some 90% of the population in St. Catherine. However, the reliability of service to those who are served by NWC is estimated to average 16 hours per day. A Water Supply Improvement plan has been prepared for the parish and is presented in this document. The WSIP for the parish will involve an expenditure of $5,290,917,230.40 over the next twenty years in carrying out a number of water supply rehabilitation and upgrading works. A substantial portion of the proposed works is aimed at addressing the unacceptable level of NRW through the replacement of major sections of the aged and undersized water supply infrastructure and improvement in water supply pressure management. It is planned to increase service reliability to 90% to the parish population by end 2030. 2 Draft St. Catherine WS PPLan – October 12 2011 2.0 Existing Water Supply System 2.1 Water Resource Surface Water Some 7% of the water abstracted in the parish is obtained from surface sources. The following are the main surface sources in the parish: Rio Cobre Rio Pedro Mango Gully Indian River Rio Doro Fresh to brackish water may be sourced from: Fresh River Salt Island Lagoon Salt Island Creek Colburns Gully Ground Water Karstified limestone and alluvial aquifers may be tapped into for groundwater. The areas identified as most appropriate for groundwater exploration is in central and northern sections of the parish. 2.2 Water Supply Systems An extensive network of some 34 production wells as well as treatment plants supply the St. Catherine region with potable water. The supply systems and their sources are as follows: • Spanish Town and its immediate environs are supplied with drinking water from a system consisting of some ten (10) production wells and a water treatment plant. The supply sources have a combined estimated average daily output of 11.7 mig; • Portmore is fed on average 5.1 migd of potable water from some 13 production wells; 3 Draft St. Catherine WS PPLan – October 12 2011 • The Linstead/ Ewarton/ Bog Walk water supply system consists of six (6) wells which supplies the region with an estimated daily average of 6.7 mig of potable water. The system may be supplemented with water from the Bybrook No. 3 Well which primarily supplies the Rio Cobre System; • The Old Harbour water supply system is supplied from three (3) well sources. These four production wells have an estimated daily output of 2.5 MIG. • The Rio Cobre system, originally designed to produce 13.5 MIG of potable water on a daily basis has the following raw water supply sources: o Tulloch Spring o Bybrook Well 1, 2 & 4 o Eastern Headwork’s Well H, W & G The Rio Cobre Water Supply System supplies sections of Kingston and St. Andrew, Spanish Town as well as Portmore with potable water. The Kingston Metropolitan Area (KMA) Water Supply Project was undertaken jointly by the JBIC and GOJ aimed at improving all the existing water systems in the Greater Spanish Town, South East St. Catherine and ultimately increasing the production capacity in the parish. The water supply network throughout the parish is aged and undersized, contributing to unacceptable level of service there. Information on the water supply network is summarized in table 2.1 below.

This was derived from the water balances that were prepared for each of the water supply systems in the parish. The water balances are based on flow measurements that were conducted at sections of the water supply network and examinations of customer and records. NWC water production facilities provide approximately 54.26 M cubic meters of water per year to the water supply network in St. Catherine i.e. 11,937.2 M gallons per year. Physical losses amount to 29.5 M cubic meters (6,490M gallons) per year. This represents 54% of the amount produced. Revenue water in the parish is only 10MGD which is only 32% of the water produced. It should be noted that over 22,000 accounts attributes to unauthorized consumption. This is largely due to illegal connections to some of the cross country transmission pipelines to obtain water for irrigation.

Based on an annual population growth rate of 2.63%, it is estimated that the population in the parish in 2010 is 594,952 persons. There were 134,378 households in 2001 of which 74,686 had piped water (56%). There are now 101,433 customer accounts of which some 97,200 are domestic accounts. Based on this information, it is estimated there was a 30% increase in the number of dwellings with piped since 2001, an average annual increase of 3%. It is estimated that 85% of the population of the parish now has piped water population data for systems. Demand Centres The enumeration districts (EDs) that were used in the 2001 population census was used to establish priority areas that will be targeted to be provided with water supply. EDs with population densities in excess of 150 persons per square kilometres were grouped to form these demand centres.

  • Jamaica Fao Country Report
    JAMAICA FAO COUNTRY REPORT 1.0 Introduction To The Country And Its Agricultural Sector: Size: Jamaica has a total land area of 10991 Sq.Km. making it the third largest Caribbean Island. The maximum length of the Island is 234.95 Km and the width varies from 35.4 – 82 Km. Geographical Location World Position: Jamaica enjoys a favourable location in relation to the western world. As demonstrated in Figure 1, the total landmass of the Americas, most of Europe and much of North and West Africa lie within a hemisphere centred on Jamaica, that is, within a 9 654 kilometres radius of the country. This hemisphere represents the major portion of the world’s economic activity and markets, although inhabited by less than half of the world’s population. Almost all of Jamaica’s cultural and economic associations are with countries in this hemisphere. Western Europe is within 9 654 kilometres, while Eastern Canada and the United States are well within 3 218 kilometres. A further advantage is provided because direct travel distance lines to those three areas are mostly over water which is the cheapest form of commercial transportation. The increasing use and improvement of aircraft make straight-line distance from Jamaica to other places in the world very pertinent. The closest link with North America is Miami, some 965 kilometres to the north. Such major cities as New York, Montreal, Toronto and Mexico City are from 2 414 kilometres to 3 218 kilometres flying distance; Rio de Janeiro in South America, Dakar in Africa and London and Madrid in Europe are 6 436 kilometres to 8 045 kilometres distant; Tokyo, Cape Town and New Delhi are 12 872 to 14 481 kilometres; Singapore and Sydney are 16 090 to 17 699 kilometres away.

  • Negril & West Coast
    © Lonely Planet Publications 216 Negril & West Coast NEGRIL & WEST COAST NEGRIL & WEST COAST In the 1970s, Negril lured hippies with its offbeat beach-life to a countercultural Shangri-la where anything goes. To some extent anything still goes here, but the innocence left long ago. To be sure, the gorgeous 11km-long swath of sand that is Long Beach is still kissed by the serene waters into which the sun melts every evening in a riot of color that will transfix even the most jaded. And the easily accessible coral reefs offer some of the best diving in the Caribbean. At night, rustic beachside music clubs keep the reggae beat going without the watered-down- for-tourist schmaltz that so often mars the hotspots of Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. Yet these undeniable attractions have done just that – attract. In the last three decades, Negril has exploded as a tourist venue, and today the beach can barely be seen from Nor- man Manley Blvd for the intervening phalanx of beachside resorts. And with tourism comes the local hustle – you’re very likely to watch the sunset in the cloying company of a ganja dealer or an aspiring tour-guide-cum-escort. The less-developed West End lies on the cliffs slightly to the south of Long Beach. Here smaller, more characterful hotels mingle with intimate jerk shacks and lively bars, and it’s much easier to mix with locals without the perpetual sense of just being seen as an exten- sion of your wallet. The sunset’s just as magnificent from the cliffs, and you’ll probably get a better idea of what Negril was like 40 years ago.
