Nearly six months after the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) proudly announced that it had rehabilitated over 300 fire hydrants in Georgetown, the public utility company is refusing to respond to questions about one hydrant it failed to fix outside the Camp Street jail.
Following the fire which destroyed the Georgetown Prison just over a week ago, Stabroek News visited the surrounding area and was informed of an un-serviced hydrant along the prison wall. One resident explained that for years he has asked both the Guyana Prison Service and GWI to place a marker at the location without success. The area remains covered by wooden slates.
