Georgetown: Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) announced that inclement weather is affecting the planned activation of the recently rehabilitated Force and Delivery mains under the Government of Guyana (GOG) and Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) US$ 10 Million Georgetown Sanitation Improvement Programme (GSIP).
According to Programme Manager, GWI, Orin Browne, ‘the consistent rainfall and flooding has caused delays in the activation of the new sewer infrastructure’. He stated that private contractors (S. Jagmohan/Nabi Consortium) were forced to halt works related to the activation because of flooding at several work sites.
In addition, road repairs related to the GSIP are being executed at a reduced pace due to consistent rainfall. Contractors have advised GWI that executing road repairs during the current inclement weather would significantly affect the quality of work. Contractors are also monitoring the weather and site conditions closely and will resume works at the required pace when the weather permits.
Customers with concerns are asked to contact GWI’s Sanitation Hotline numbers on 227-8718 and 226-6059 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 to 17:00hours.
GWI in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Works will continue to consistently monitor all road repairs being executed by private contractors to ensure high quality.
