THE Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) has announced that the ongoing upgrades to the Vergenoegen Water Treatment Plant are nearing completion, promising significant improvements to water supply and quality for residents in Region Three.
These enhancements include the addition of two new filtration units and the installation of a new well, both set to be operational soon.

The newly introduced filtration units are designed to enhance the plant’s ability to remove impurities, ensuring a more reliable and cleaner water supply for the surrounding communities. In addition, the new well will boost the plant’s water production capacity, catering to the growing needs of areas such as Zeelugt, Vergenoegen, Tuschen, and nearby villages.

These upgrades are part of the Government of Guyana’s Coastal Water Treatment Infrastructure Programme (CWTIP), aimed at increasing treated water coverage to 90 per cent by 2025. Once completed, residents can expect improved water pressure and enhanced overall service delivery.
GWI CEO, Shaik Baksh, recently inspected the ongoing works, expressing confidence in the tremendous benefits the upgraded facility will provide to the region.

He highlighted GWI’s continued commitment to improving water infrastructure across the country, ensuring that every citizen has access to safe and adequate water supplies.
This latest investment underscores the government’s dedication to improving public utilities and enhancing the quality of life for all Guyanese.
