Executive Summary

Central Wastewater Treatment Company Limited (CWTC) is a special purpose company established for the implementation of Phase 1A of the Kingston Metropolitan Area (KMA) Wastewater Treatment Project. The facilities constructed by the company are intended to treat almost all of the wastewater generated in the Kingston and St. Andrew Area (KSA) as well as wastewater from Portmore in St. Catherine. CWTC was incorporated as a limited liability company under the laws of Jamaica. In 2010, Cabinet approved the transfer of shares from the Urban Development Corporation (UDC), Ministry of Water and Housing and National Housing Trust (NHT) to the National Water Commission (NWC). This resulted in the NWC becoming the majority shareholder of CWTC with 85.2% of the issued shares, and Ashtrom (Jamaica) Limited (Ashtrom) being the minority shareholder with 14.8%.

On February 20, 2013, CWTC applied to the Office of Utilities Regulation (Office/OUR) for an initial rate for sewerage services provided to the NWC (Tariff Application).
