The affected communities are Castle James, sections of Cooper's Hill, Shoucair Circle, Swain Spring, Padmore, sections of Sterling Castle, Cavalier and Pinto. 

Meanwhile, areas served by the Clark's Town Deepwell facility in Trelawny, are to brace for disruptions tomorrow from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The National Water Commission says this is to facilitate maintenance work at the facility.

Residents are being encouraged to store water for use.
