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:
- Citizens are asked to check all internal plumbing for leaks (including toilet cisterns, taps, etc.)
- Reduce the amount of times in which you wash your car, equipment, etc with water supplied by GWI
- desist from washing concrete surfaces (such as your yard or bridge) with water provided by GWI
* 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.
