City water supply drops further

The Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) today said that there has been a further decrease in the level of the East Demerara Water Conservancy (EDWC), which supplies the city, due to the prolonged dry season.

As a result, customers of Georgetown are experiencing low levels of service, a release from GWI said.

GWI is once again appealing for all customers to conserve on water supply:

*      immediately install ‘float-valves’ in water tanks to prevent overflows

*     Contact GWI immediately to report leaks detected in your community on 227-8701, 227-8703 or 227-8704

On January 19, the Government Information Agency had reported that the flow of water from GWI’s Shelter Belt in the city had been cut by half.
