City tap water safe to drink

The water flowing through the taps at the homes of city residents is safe to drink, according to the Head of Water Quality at Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) Deon Anderson.

“Yes, it is safe,” Anderson said when asked yesterday, following a presentation to journalists on the current quality of water being provided to the city.

Information on the quality of water, Anderson said, will be placed on GWI’s website so people can see the water treatment plants serving the various areas and monitor the water quality.
