A water transmission line broke near to the Bank of Guyana yesterday and GWI said that it is this year intensifying efforts to replace the over 100-year-old pipes in Georgetown with the support of Central Government.

This is according to the Guyana Water Inc’s (GWI)  Chief Executive Officer, Shaik Baksh, who yesterday visited the site of the breakage.

GWI was hoping to complete work on the site last evening. He was accompanied by Senior Engineer in the Special Projects Unit of the Ministry of Public Works, Colin Gittens. The Ministry has been playing a key role in restoring the roadways when these repair works are done.
