IDB.News Releases. Nov 17, 2011. US$133 million for Jamaica National Water Commission Jmaica will receive a US$133 million loan from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to improve water supply in its capital city, Kingston and the surrounding metropolitan area.

The program will improve the efficiency, quality and sustainability of the potable water services provided by the Kingston Metropolitan Area (KMA) and increase access to water in selected urban centers of Jamaica.

The Kingston Metropolitan Area is the major urban area on the southern side of the island, with over one million people or nearly 40% of the population of Jamaica.

The program will optimize water infrastructure performance, reduce non-revenue water levels, and strengthen the National Water Commission, in charge of the initiative

The rehabilitation of the potable water supply for the KMA will include financing the completion of works in selected water treatment and production facilities, reduction of commercial and physical losses, customer water meters, improvement in energy efficient equipment and repair.

Improvements in selected urban centers will comprise the design, construction and implementation or water production, treatment and distribution systems for Old Harbour, St. Catherine; May Pen, Clarendon; and Mandeville, Manchester.

Energy efficiency improvements will consist of the replacement or rehabilitation of some water production facilities, including pumping and lifting stations, reservoirs, electromechanical parts and measuring devices, as well as operating and maintenance measures.

The loan is for a 20-year term, with a five-year grace period, and at a variable interest rate based on LIBOR.
