THE Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) has assured residents of Chesney, Fyrish, and Kilcoy that it is actively addressing recent concerns about the presence of visible iron sediments in the water supply.
According to GWI, the issue arose following technical challenges at the Chesney Small Water Treatment Plant, where the in-line filtration system required temporary bypassing to carry out essential repairs.
The company reported that the filtration process has since recommenced, and remedial flushing activities have been completed throughout the distribution network.
GWI said that its engineers continue to monitor water quality rigorously to ensure that it meets the World Health Organization (WHO) standards.
While improvements are ongoing, residents, GWI said, may still notice occasional changes in the water’s colour or clarity as tests and optimisation of the in-line filters continue.
“The water quality is expected to improve steadily over the coming days,” GWI stated, emphasising its commitment to providing safe and reliable treated water to every community.
GWI also expressed appreciation for the patience and understanding of residents as it works to ensure sustained service enhancements.
Customers were encouraged to contact GWI’s Regional Office or send a message or video to the company’s WhatsApp Chatbot at 622-5133 to report any continued irregularities or seek further information.
