GWI encounters delays in Mandela Avenue works

The Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) on its Facebook page last evening announced that customers in Central Georgetown were to have their water supply restored at 2am today, due to a delay in the completion of works on Mandela Avenue.

The delay came after the team encountered unforeseen technical difficulties.

GWI had recently announced that customers in Central Georgetown would experience a disruption of water service yesterday, from 1.00 pm and expected to last for approximately 9 hours.

The interruption was to facilitate the relocation of mains for road works. 

During an earlier update on the GWI page, Regional Manager for Georgetown, Curtis Niles, stated that 55% of the work was completed as steady progress was being made.

He asked that customers be patient and that they use water “very smartly”.
