Ministry explains closure of CJIA washrooms

The Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MPI) yesterday said that on Friday the washrooms at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport were under procedural sanitation for the Domestic Cold Water pipelines system and were therefore closed for around six hours.

The ministry statement appeared to be a response to a news item in yesterday’s edition of Kaieteur News but did not refer to it.

MPI said that following Specification/Contract requirements, under the supervision of the Airport Expansion Project Consultants (MMM/CEMCO Inc.) and in conjunction with Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI), and China Harbour Engineering (CHEC) the sanitation/disinfection of the Domestic Cold Water (DWC) piping system installed in the Terminal Building was undertaken.
