GUYANA Water Incorporated (GWI) Chief Executive Officer Shaik Baksh and a team of technical officials on Friday visited several communities along the Soesdyke-Linden Highway.
According to GWI, the visit was intended to enlighten residents about the utility’s plans to improve, and in some cases provide first-time potable water access to them.

One such community was Kairuni, where the team met and held discussions with the Vice-Chair of the Community Development Council (CDC) and residents to inform them of plans to drill a new well.

The GWI team also visited Moblissa and Long Creek, where they promised to drill new wells.
According to the CEO, the realisation of these wells signals first-time access to potable water for these villages.
He noted that works are expected to commence this year.

Meanwhile, Waiakabra will benefit sooner, as a new well has already been drilled there, and is being developed.
These projects are all to provide relief to these communities.
