Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness has described the Rio Cobre Water Treatment Plant project in St Catherine, as a win-win.

The multi-million dollar facility was constructed under a Public Private Partnership agreement, and will serve residents of St Catherine, Kingston and St Andrew.

Dr Holness, along with Water Minister Matthew Samuda, and representatives of the National Water Commission, went to the plant site yesterday.

The prime minister noted the government’s commitment to improving the country’s water infrastructure and services.

He noted that when completed and operationalised, the Rio Cobre plant will allow for the hermitage dam to be taken out of operation, to facilitate much needed repairs.
