Bartica to receive first well -GWI

Dr. Richard Van West-Charles

The quality and reliability of the water supply in Bartica will be improved, following the construction of a well and remedial works on the water filtration system.

This was related by the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) through a Department of Public Information press release, which said that the company has made strides toward upgrading its water infrastructure in Region Seven. As a result, Bartica, which uses surface water for its supply, will receive its first well this year, and the water filtration system will guarantee less contamination of the water supply and reduce the importation of chemicals used to treat the water.

The initiatives are being funded through GWI’s $154 million supplemental budget allocation.
