RESIDENTS of Little Diamond, East Bank Demerara, are set to receive reliable water access as the Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) wraps up crucial works in the area on Wednesday.
Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water, Susan Rodrigues, along with GWI’s Director of Projects, Marlon Daniels, visited the site Wednesday morning to oversee the final stages of the project.

The Housing Ministry recently allocated lands in Little Diamond, leading to the construction of numerous young professional homes. While many residents were eager to settle into their new properties, they had been waiting for a water connection. Minister Rodrigues assured them that the wait was over, as the community was being connected to the new Covent Garden well.

“Today is the last day; we are completing the interconnection to ensure that this area in Little Diamond and Sections One, Two, and Three in Great Diamond are serviced,” said Minister Rodrigues. “For people who have been waiting to build, I want to assure them that this area is now serviced.”
This project is part of the Ministry of Housing and Water’s broader initiative to equip all housing schemes with essential utilities such as water and electricity. The completion of these works ensures that residents in Little Diamond, as well as nearby areas in Great Diamond, can now move forward with their home construction and enjoy consistent water access.

The government’s commitment to ensuring that new housing developments are equipped with necessary infrastructure highlights its focus on improving the quality of life for all Guyanese, particularly in rapidly growing communities like Little Diamond.
