## Resource

Jamaica’s water crisis is hitting hard as the National Water Commission tightens supply in the Corporate Area, with Mona Reservoir at just 35.9% capacity. Starting Sept. 17, water will turn on at 6 AM but shut off by 4 PM to stretch dwindling resources. Across the island, 22% of water systems — nearly 100 out of 450 — are under stress, prompting localized cuts, truck deliveries, and urgent conservation pleas. The NWC is monitoring every source and ready to act — because saving water isn’t optional anymore. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
