Several JPS customers have been impacted by the heavy rains and wind affecting sections of the island, which have resulted in washed out poles, broken conductors and other damage, leading to outages.  Crews have been working since last night, where it was safe to do so and will continue to work where the weather permits safe operations.

The areas presently impacted by outages include:

In Kingston and St. Andrew – Pembroke Hall, Jacks Hill, Mona Road, Peters Rock, Belcor Lodge, Norbrook, Gordon Town, Boone Hall, Golden Spring, Harbour View and Deanery Road;

In St. Catherine – Ham Walk, Constant Spring, Linstead, Bowers and Sandy Ground;

In St. Thomas – Lloyds, Bethel Gap to Cedar Valley and sections of York to Penline Castle;

In St. James – Norwood District, Top Lincoln, Grange Hill, Porto Bello, West Gate Hills; and

In Westmoreland – West End in Negril.

Every effort is being made to return the situation to normality.  JPS thanks customers for their patience and understanding at this time.
