May Pen, Clarendon — The Clarendon Municipal Corporation is taking steps to improve domestic water supplies for the parish’s northern communities where residents are mostly without a reliable supply.
As part of that drive, Mayor of May Pen Winston Maragh has engaged the support of water resource experts from the National Water Commission, Rural Water Supply Limited, and Water Resources Authority, a news release said.
Maragh reiterated at a recent Minor Water committee meeting that the Clarendon Municipal Corporation could no longer afford to continue the trucking of water as the primary method of serving affected communities. He described water trucking as expensive and inadequate.
