THE Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) has embarked on the Coastal Water Treatment Infrastructure Programme (CWTIP) to increase the treated water coverage to 90 per cent by 2025.
This programme seeks to construct seven new large water treatment plants, 15 small plants, upgrading 12 existing plants and installing 200 kilometers of transmission mains to improve water quality, continuity of service and level of service in Regions Two, Three, Four, Five and Six.

Recently, GWI Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Shaik Baksh inspected works at the Farm Pump Station, Mahaicony.
This pump station has been upgraded to include a small in-line water treatment plant that is expected to be commissioned soon.
Once commissioned, the upgraded facility will be able to remove the iron content from the water supplied to residents in the area.

This will ensure continued access to potable water and enhance the service delivery with the ground water being treated at the facility and making its way to residents without the iron content.
GWI CEO said that the commitment by the company to residents to ensure that no community/ village will be left out from access to potable water stands and is expanding significantly with work happening across the country.

Small treatment plants will be installed in Agricola, La Bonne Intention (LBI) and Lusignan in Region Four; Perseverance, Calcutta, Weldaad, Strath Campbell and Ithica in Region Five and Edinburg, Chesney, Mibicuri, Johanna, No. 69 Village and Crabwook Creek in Region Six.
GWI remains committed to ensuring that residents across Guyana benefit from clean, safe and potable water.
