Residents of Hand en Veldt, Mahaica, Region 5, have been promised access to potable water by Christmas this year, after 10 years of being without such.
This promise was made as Managing Director of Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) Dr. Richard Van West-Charles and other technical staff visited the community on Monday, a release from the utility said yesterday.
The residents of the community had written a letter which appeared in the November 20 edition of Stabroek News complaining of their lack of access to potable water even after making several pleas to the previous administration.
