GWI addressing concerns of Queenstown residents

…as sewerage rehabilitation is under way
Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) is currently addressing all concerns by residents in the Queenstown community regarding sewerage works being conducted to improve the sanitation system.
“GWI will repair all damage to the roadways, bridges, etc, due to the sewerage rehabilitation project being conducted in Queenstown,” said Executive Director of Operations, GWI, Joseph Codette.

In a GWI press release, Codette is assuring all affected residents that the contractor is mandated to restore any private property damaged as a result of the execution of the project.

He explained that all repairs would be completed within the next month.
“By the close of September, we will complete all road repairs and re-instate damaged bridges…we are in the final phases of the project and we regret that repairs cannot be completed sooner, but this is necessary to ensure all components of the sewerage rehabilitation project have been properly implemented,” he stated.

GWI is appealing to residents for their patience as the final phase of the project is completed, and assures all beneficiaries that the sewerage rehabilitation project will significantly improve the operations of the sanitation system which serves the community and alleviate instances of sewage overflows.

“The project will result in tremendous benefits for residents of Queenstown; the previous system was quite old. This rehabilitation will correct many of the problems customers experienced in the past.  We urge all beneficiaries to continue to provide their full cooperation and exercise patience as this project has their best interest at heart,” the Director of Operations added.

In addition, GWI wishes to respond to a letter in the Stabroek News of Thursday, August 25 2011, which claimed that residents were not informed of the project. The company wishes to advise that letters were sent to beneficiaries of the project in July, 2011, prior to commencement; these indicated the purpose of the project, benefits and any inconvenience residents may experience as a result of the activity.  The letter indicated that there would be minor traffic diversion and damage to bridges, and that GWI would repair any private property damaged during the project”.

The company expresses gratitude to residents of Queenstown for their continued partnership and apologises for any inconvenience experienced.
