`No immediate plans’ to institute water charges to Region 9 residents, GWI says

Addressing rumours that their recent intervention to provide water access in Region 9 communities will carry a cost for residents, the Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) has stated that no immediate plans are in place to charge for the services.

GWI, in a release, yesterday stated that because there are no immediate plans, customers were never informed of any impending costs. Their recent interventions in the north, south and central Rupununi communities, the company pointed out, were done in keeping with President David Granger’s call for equity between the coastland and hinterland.
