WATER service was restored to Central Georgetown on Thursday morning at approximately 06:00 hours, following a planned disruption, which commenced on Wednesday, March 17. It was done to facilitate pipe relocations and interconnections along Mandela Avenue.
The Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) said the restoration of water service was far beyond previously proposed timelines, as a result of major technical difficulties experienced along the work site. The expansion of the Mandela Avenue Road is a Ministry of Public Works project and the works undertaken to interconnect the pipelines were under the purview of contractor Sinhohydro and executed by several sub-contractors, with the guidance of GWI.
