In the face of concerns raised about the Fyrish well being located in a cemetery, the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) has said that tests have shown no contamination in the last three years.
In a letter published in last Tuesday’s edition of the Stabroek News, Region Six Regional Democratic Council (RDC) member Haseef Yusuf raised concerns about the well’s location in the cemetery.
Yusuf explained that the issue was raised several times to no avail and questioned why the authorities at the water company “would have allowed this risk to residents’ health to be ignored.”
