As the dry season persists, water levels at the Mona Storage Reservoir, the country's largest raw-water storage facility, has dipped below the 50 per cent mark for the first time in 20 years at this time of year. Currently, the level is at 47 per cent of its 809-million-gallon capacity.

The National Water Commission (NWC) continues to be plagued by continuous low rainfall and low inflows.

The result of the unrelenting conditions means that water restrictions continue to be imposed.

In a release yesterday, the NWC said it would continue to closely monitor the drought situation and would gradually make adjustments whenever the situation changed.

The NWC went on to encourage customers to monitor their usage and to observe strict conservation measures by installing conservation devices in their homes and businesses.
