Georgetown: Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) wishes to strongly denounce statements made by representatives of the contractor responsible for the East Bank Four-lane Project which indicated that GWI is contributing to delays in the completion of the project.
Guyana Water Inc was provided with the original plan for the Four-lane Highway and executed all works required by the utility to allow for the progression of the project; however GWI was subsequently informed that there would be changes to the original plan for the Highway. This involved the construction of concrete drains at specific sections of the Highway. GWI indicated to all parties involved that the construction of the drains would significantly reduce the space available for the utility’s PVC mains.
Hence, during discussions with the GWI Project Team and the Project Team attached to the Four-lane Highway project, it was agreed that GWI would relocate the pipelines behind the concrete drains which are to be constructed. It was also agreed that GWI would execute this upon completion of the concrete drains.
However, the utility has been unable to relocate the pipelines since the construction of the concrete drains at specific sections of the Highway has not been completed.
The statements implicating GWI with the delay in the project are therefore erroneous and the company asks for a retraction of the statements by the contractor’s representative.
The utility is in possession of documentation regarding the aforementioned facts and wishes to reiterate that the company has at all times responded to all requests by the Four-lane Highway project team and has provided all necessary assistance towards the success of the project.
