With the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) laying down new infrastructure in the Region 9 community of Aranaputa, about 100 residents are expected to benefit from access to potable water for the first time.

GWI related such in a release, in which it was stated that the water company has completed the drilling of a new well in the community and has installed a new photovoltaic system. After the distribution mains are installed— which should occur by the end of this month— the residents will receive water access, GWI explained.

The release said that last Friday, Managing Director of GWI, Dr. Richard Van West-Charles, visited Aranaputa along with other company officials, to gauge the progress of the project.
