The unreliable supply of energy remains a significant hurdle to Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) achieving its mission of delivering safe and adequate water to citizens, according to Managing Director Dr. Richard Van West-Charles.

Van West-Charles was speaking at a Groundwater Geophysics and Well Maintenance Workshop, hosted by GWI at the Regency Suites on Friday.

According to a GWI statement, Van West-Charles noted that over the past three and a half years, GWI has drilled over 55 wells throughout Guyana as part of its quest to fulfill its mission statement. He also said GWI has begun to explore new avenues for clean, reliable and affordable sources of energy.
