Cabinet Government of Jamaica has approved the contract conditions for the development of a new water treatment plant in the St. Catherine region. Earlier on May 7, 2021, National Water Commission (NWC) awarded the concession to a consortium of Jamaica Producers Group (JPG), Eppley and Vinci Construction Grand Projects (VCGP).
These three companies will form a Special Purpose Vehicle to design, build, finance, own, operate and maintain a 15-million imperial gallons of water per day treatment plant in Content, St Catherine. The project is estimated to cost US$60 million with an initial concession period of 25 years via a public-private partnership arrangement.
Once the project starts, the plant will be delivered in two years. Water produced by the plant will be sold to the National Water Commission (NWC) under a water purchase agreement. The plant is expected to bring significant improvement to the reliability of the water supply to Kingston and St Andrew.
