THE Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) has advised that due to the further decline of the water level at the East Demerara Water Conservancy (EDWC) as a result of the prolonged dry season, customers in Georgetown are experiencing low levels of service.The Guyana Water Authority yesterday reiterated its call on all citizens to conserve water by checking all internal plumbing for leaks, including toilet cisterns and taps; reduce the frequency with which cars and equipment are washed with water provided by GWI; desist from washing concrete surfaces with water provided by GWI; immediately install ‘float-valves’ in water tanks, to prevent overflows; and contact GWI immediately to report leaks detected in communities on 227-8701, 227-8703 or 227-8704.
A statement from the water company said GWI continues to collaborate with the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) to monitor the East Demerara Water Conservancy.
The prolonged dry season is forecasted to conclude in April.
