The National Water Commission has introduced a special three-month amnesty for small business operators across Jamaica with outstanding water bills.
The initiative, which will run from September 1 to November 30, is designed specifically for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.
Under the programme, a 50% write-off is being offered to two categories of small business customers - accounts that are inactive and disconnected for more than three months and active accounts with debts of more than $30,000 for over six months.
In addition to the discount, customers who qualify for the relief will also get a 100% waver on reconnection fees where applicable.
The NWC says accounts that qualify will be granted up to three months to clear the remaining arrears without disconnection.
In special cases, the NWC may also approve negotiated settlement terms.
Residential customers and businesses that previously benefitted from other amnesty offers earlier in 2025 are not eligible.
This offer from the NWC comes months after debt relief was offered to residential accounts that were in arrears.
