The National Water Commission (NWC) is reporting that an assessment is now under way into a chlorine leak that occurred at its Mona Reservoir compound earlier today.
The NWC said the leak was quickly contained and remedied through the coordinated efforts of its emergency response team, the supplier and the Jamaica Fire Brigade.
As the response was under way, the commission said it contacted a number of neighbouring premises to provide updates on the situation and the steps being taken to address it.
The matter is being investigated.
The NWC is appealing to anyone who may have been affected by the leak and is experiencing symptoms to seek medical attention.
