GUYANA Water Inc (GWI) has announced that it is taking urgent action to relieve the difficulties faced by Central Mahaicony residents, on East Coast Demerara, affected by unsatisfactory supplies over the past several days.

The Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mr. Timothy Austin said the utility is investigating the state of the distribution system in the area as a causative factor because the pump which services the area, generally, is in good working order and fully operational.

“We know that the pump at Central broke down in June and there were some problems then. But we replaced the broken down pump with a new and bigger one in July and the problems should have been resolved then,” he said.

Austin said the fault will be remedied as soon as the exact cause is determined.

Residents in Farm Railway Line had been complaining about inadequate water supply to their homes.

One of them reported that neighboring villages are getting satisfactory flow.

“We have, however, been suffering and we are looking forward to speedy action by GWI in remedying whatever the problem may be and restoring the service to normal.”
