Long Lane Aqueduct

The old ruin stands beside the Water Commission’s filtering plant near Constant Spring. The aqueduct was built when the Constant Spring estate was in the hands of Daniel Moore. An act was passed in 1770 enabling him to bring my means of a tunnel and an aqueduct, water to his estate from the Wag Water River. Today the aqueduct is abandoned but the tunnel has been renovated and is used in supplying water to the city.

The Long Lane Aqueduct was declared a national monument by the Jamaica National Heritage Trust on January 6, 2005.
