Parishes expected to benefit are;

St Mary, St Andrew, Portland, Clarendon, St Elizabeth and St Ann.

Additionally, the Prime Minister Holness said the project will benefit the Rainwater Harvesting in Schools initiative.

He also noted that the 2019/20 fiscal year will see more schools being equipped with rainwater harvesting systems.

He said in that regard a comprehensive survey will be undertaken for all rural schools that “currently have little or no potable water supply, with the view to install rainwater harvesting systems”.
