Despite the dismal state of a number of roads in central Georgetown, Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) project manager Orin Browne says the company is pleased with the progress it has been making in upgrading the sewerage system and repairing the roads that were damaged in the process.

“From the time the project has commenced to now, despite the hardships we have faced, despite the shortage of materials and the constraints, we have prevailed,” Browne told Stabroek News.

According to Browne, the operation is 95% complete, and all works, both upgrades and repairs will be completed by the end of July as they are being done simultaneously.
