Several Region One communities will be subject to upgrades to their water infrastructure over the next two months, with many set to gain access to potable water for the first time.
The Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) reported that over the weekend, Managing Director of the company, Richard Van West-Charles, visited several sites where the works have already begun or will commence shortly.
The scheduled works include the digging of new wells in Mabaruma, White Water, Kamwatta, Matthews Ridge and Port Kaituma. According to Dr. Van West-Charles, all of the works will be completed within the next two months.
He acknowledged that there may be other communities in the region without water access while pointing out that as those discoveries are registered, provisions will be made in the utility’s 2020 capital programme.
