The Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) on Thurs-day recommissioned the Mara Water System which had been non-functional for several years, at a cost of some $5M.
Dr Richard Van West-Charles, Managing Director of the Guyana Water Incorporated, during a ceremony at the Schepmoed Primary School on Thursday morning, noted that the recommissioning of the water system would not have been possible without support from residents and the workers responsible for ensuring the system was back to a functioning state. “This is a good example where the community comes together with companies to try to ensure that we bring service to you,” he said.
The Mara Water System had been down for several years since thieves in the area stole 24 costly solar panels that provided electricity to the system.
