Residents of several wards of the city were left without water from about 10 am yesterday after a main located between Cummings and Light streets, on Church Street, ruptured around 4 pm on Saturday.
At press time, a major operation by Guyana Water Inc was still underway to staunch the flow of water. The main is a large one connected directly to the Shelter Belt. Four pumps had been employed to channel water out of the excavated area so that the pipe could be isolated but this was still not doing the job.
The Guyana Fire Service was called in around 10.20 pm
