The Guyana Water Inc (GWI) yesterday announced that it has “significantly” improved the water supply of the community of St Cuthbert’s Mission located in Region Four with the commissioning of an $8.1 million upgraded and expanded water supply system.
The upgrade, it says, will benefit some 700 residents, 300 of whom are receiving potable water for the first time. Nursery, primary and secondary schools, the health centre, and teachers’ quarters are also among the beneficiaries of this project.
The project was executed by GWI’s in-house staff and the village council, while a local contractor was used to refurbish a metal trestle. Works included the upgrading of the distribution system, trestle rehabilitation, leak repair, well head rehabilitation and discharge, and the installation of new service connections.
