gwi-2Georgetown: Guyana Water Incorporated, GWI, will embark on a massive service removal exercise in several communities in Georgetown commencing Monday February 17 following a significant decrease in revenue in Georgetown for the last quarter of 2013.

As a last resort the company is removing the entire service of customers with any outstanding debt for 2013; commencing Monday February 17 disconnection contractors will be removing the services of defaulting customers in the following areas:

 ·         South Ruimveldt Park

·         South Ruimveldt Gardens

·         Bel Air Park

·         Bel Air Springs

·         New Haven Bel Air

·         Houston, McDoom

·         North Ruimveldt

·         Lodge

·         Prashad Nagar

Disconnected customers must reapply for a new service and pay the full cost of installation.  The service removal campaign is also being conducted via other GWI branches on East Coast Demerara, East Bank Demerara, West Coast Demerara, East and West Berbice, Linden, Essequibo, Bartica, etc.
