As part of continued works to extend services countrywide, the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) is in the process of undertaking a number of projects in regions six and seven that will see citizens benefiting from access to potable water for the first time.

In Region 6 (East Berbice/ Corentyne), a project costing over $37 million for the extension of distribution mains and installation of service connections at Angoy’s Avenue, is in its completion phase, a GWI release said yesterday.

GWI said that the purpose of the project is to extend the distribution system by installing approximately 4.5 kilometers of 100mm distribution mains and 1.2 kilometers of 150mm transmission mains, as well as to install and upgrade service connections.
