In the wake of a devastating hurricane, Discovery Bauxite’s water wells in Discovery Bay, Jamaica, have emerged as a critical resource for communities grappling with disrupted water supplies. The company has been supplying thousands of gallons of water to its operational areas and neighboring parishes, including Montego Bay, where the World Central Kitchen team is preparing meals for hurricane relief efforts. Local schools, agencies, and residents in St Ann have also benefited from the company’s water facilities, particularly an open water stand near its public clinic in Jacks Lodge, Discovery Bay. Small business owner Pauline White described the support as a ‘lifeline,’ while truck operator Linburgh Gayle highlighted its role in meeting daily water needs for schools, churches, and families. Discovery Bauxite expressed solidarity with those affected by the hurricane, pledging to continue providing water and relief items as long as its pumps can handle the demand. The company emphasized its commitment to aiding the nation during this crisis, noting the significance of its water supplies to hundreds of individuals from local and nearby communities.
