1 Introduction
Hanover is located on the North Western side of Jamaica and is bordered on the
east by St. James, and on the South by the parishes of Westmoreland; the
Caribbean Sea forms the northern and western boundary of the parish. The parish
has a mountainous terrain, with the coastline marked by coves and bays. Hanover
covers an area of 430 km2. The highest point in the parish is the Dolphin's Head,
which serves as a landmark for ships at sea. The parish has three small waterfalls,
several coves, such as the Davis Cove, named after a prominent Hanover family,
along its coastline and large caves. In the centre of Lucea stands a clock tower.
Though it was installed in 1817, it is still fully functional.
. Hanover is known for the production of yams, sugar cane, ginger, rice, pimento,
turmeric, breadfruit and arrowroot. Hanover is celebrated for its fine breeds of cattle.
The principal towns are Lucea, Green Island, Hopewell, and Sandy Bay.
The tourism industry has played a major role in the economic activity of the parish.
A deep-water pier was built, but this has been restricted only to the shipping of molasses. In
1983, the port was closed, but the old Fort Charlotte still stands at one side of the entrance
to the harbour. The major hotels are located along the coastline.
National Water Commission (NWC) produces some 635,457 m3/month of water per
month in Hanover through five (5) surface sources. The average billed volume from
16,813 accounts is only 275,695 m3/month which translates to average non-
revenue water (NRW) of 359,762 m3/month i.e. 57% of production. This
unacceptable level of NRW has had an adverse impact on the level of service
provided to the people of the parish, on its financial performance and that of NWC.
NWC now provides water to some 80.78% of the population in Hanover, which is a
marginal improvement over that in 2001 when the level of coverage was 74%. The
reliability of service to those who are served by NWC is estimated to average 18
hours per day. The average utilization rate of the parish is 79.70%. Total length of
pipeline within the parish is 455 km with varying material types from CI, AC, GI,
PVC, ST and DI.
A Water Supply Improvement plan has been prepared for the parish and is
presented in this document. The WSIP for the parish will involve an expenditure of
$5.4732 billion over the next twenty years in carrying out a number of water supply
rehabilitation and upgrading works. A substantial portion of the proposed works is
aimed at addressing the unacceptable level of NRW through the replacement of
major sections of the aged and undersized water supply infrastructure and

improvement in water supply pressure management. It is planned to increase water
supply coverage to 93% of the parish population by end 2030, reduction in NRW to
30% and service reliability to 24 hours per day at that time.

Revenue water in the parish is only 3.3 million cubic meters, which is 42.6% of the
water produced. The remaining 0.7 million cubic meters relate to commercial
losses.It would be noted that 0.61M cubic meters of water is attributed to
unauthorized consumption (i.e. 8.1% of production). This is largely due to illegal
connections to sections of the water transmission main for use in informal
settlements.

Demand Centres
The enumeration districts (EDs) that were used in the 2001 population census was used
to establish priority areas that will be targeted to be provided with water supply. EDs
with population densities in excess of 150 persons per square kilometres were grouped
to form these demand centres.

As far as possible, each demand centre (DC) is linked to a water supply system. It is
related to a water distribution system that now serves it or has the potential to serve by
it.
Set out in table 4.1 is information showing the population in each DC, indicating
estimates for 2010, 2015, 2030.
The estimated total 2010 population in the DCs is shown to be 6,374 (9.4% of parish

The current water supply situation in Hanover is that, overall, there is insufficient
water in the parish to meet the water requirement, even with the existing technical
losses (leaks, tank overflows, etc). There is a current water supply shortfall of some
2.7 mgd based on the existing water production levels and the water requirement in
the Demand Zones combined.
The average daily water production in the parish is 5.7 mg; the average day water
requirement (domestic, commercial, institutional, etc) in the Demand Zones is
estimated to be 5.8 mgd. Technical losses estimated to be 2.7 mgd.
Set out in the tables below are water supply scenarios based on whether the level
of technical losses are addressed and reduced to 30% at most or the conditions
remain the same. It would be noted that the deficit would increase to 3.8 mgd.

5 Water Supply Improvement Plans
The improvement to the water supply in Hanover will be based on
(a) Reducing the level of technical losses due to the aged water supply network;
(b) Rehabilitating the water facilities to increase output.
NWC has committed to significantly reduce the high level of NRW in the parish of
Hanover. This will include pipeline replacement works and improved pressure
management.
The Logwood Water Treatment Plant is the major plant in the parish, with an installed
treatment capacity of 7.5 mgd. Its average production in recent years has been 5.4 mgd.
The projects will be packaged as presented below. Details on the undertakings are
provided in section 6.

5.1 Expected Benefits
The detailed audit of the Hanover Supply system will provide information that will be
used to help in defining detailed NRW reduction intervention activities. The results
of the audit will be used to target the most critical sections of the parish water
supply system that require attention and assist in scheduling of the required works.
The information will be used to populate the asset database for the parish which will
form a critical part of the asset management system (AMS) that will be established
for Hanover. A fully functional AMS will be a valuable operational tool that can be
used to sustain the benefits that will be derived from the various projects and
activities that are set out in this document.

• Reduction in flow through the intake to the Logwood plant by up to 20% during
periods of drought
• There is need to provide the additional two raw water pumps for which
provision was made
• The treatment plant is not capable of producing water at its designed 7.5mgd
capacity because only three of eight pumps at clear water well are operational.

Draft Hanover WS PPLan – October 12 2011
• Sections on the distribution to Lucea and Negril experience excessively high
pressures and there are losses primarily from the aged asbestos cement and cast
iron type distribution network.
The planned works are presented below.
• Interconnection from the 18" (coming from Logwood, reaching the Highway) at
the taxi stop in the highway towards Savanna, near to Negril Spots, with the 8"
pipeline that was started four years ago. Interconnection should be provided
with a PRV because the pressure is about 15 bar from the main.
• Basic Telemetry system connecting Red Ground with Logwood WTP. The
system shall be able to show 5 different levels of the reservoir to the operator in
order to decide when to stop 2 pumps and keep running one for network
balanced operation.
• At Negril area, to interconnect and install a 150mm pipeline from the 18" main at
Sweet Spice restaurant with meter and PRV supplying White Hall and the road
towards Orange Hill. This will involve the use of the Redground and Westland
water storage tanks.
