Residents of East Ruimveldt are upset over the quality and inadequate supply of water they have been receiving from the Guyana Water Incor-porated (GWI) over the last few weeks after being connected to a new network.
They said the water was flowing through their taps at a trickle, was cut off for hours on a daily basis and was smelly and discoloured.
Contacted, GWI acknowledged that there was a problem with the flow of water, which was being addressed but said it was unaware of any discolouration or odour.
When Stabroek News visited Market Street, Self Help Square, Pineapple Street, Trench Road, Back Circle and Mango Lane, in East Ruimveldt shortly before noon yesterday, only Self Help Square was being supplied with water.
Residents said they have, on numerous occasions, complained to the water company but nothing has been done to date, leaving them under pressure to find potable water for their daily needs; sometimes having to purchase.
