The Guyana Water Inc (GWI) on Saturday commissioned a $15M water supply system in St. Ignatius, Central Rupununi, Region 9.
According to a release from GWI, some 175 residents in that community, located approximately 10 minutes from Lethem, gained first time access to potable water while some 1500 residents gained expanded hours and level of service.
Previously, residents extracted water from hand dug wells or the Moco Moco creek, but with this project funded by GWI and the Regional Democratic Council (RDC), they now have access to water on their premises
