Water to parts of the East Bank dried up after vandals raided the Agricola pump station and Chief Executive Officer of Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) Karan Singh has issued a call for residents to help in protecting the installations.
Residents served by the Agricola pump station have been without running water since Sunday and at a press conference held at the CEO’s office in Kingston yesterday, Singh said that vandalism had been the cause of the station shutting down. He said that running water would be restored by the earliest, this Friday. The Agricola station serves McDoom, Agricola, Houston and Evans Philip Park and the CEO said that the utility would not take in water to the community because it was not budgeted for and the company could not afford it.
