agency claims emergency works are ongoing Kaieteur News – The Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) is under fire from customers who are voicing their frustrations online over the company’s ongoing water supply issues. On Sunday, GWI re-uploaded a post to its official Facebook page, advising customers that high levels of turbidity and sediment at the Shelter Belt intake have caused significant challenges in supplying water to central Georgetown. The agency stated that “emergency works are in progress” to address the situation, estimating that the repairs would take about a week to complete.
“GWI will continue to provide updates to customers, including on the company’s social media platforms,” the statement read. However, many customers have expressed outrage, claiming that these issues have persisted far longer than GWI acknowledges. Some residents report that they have been struggling with water supply problems for weeks, if not months.
In the comment section of GWI’s Facebook post, frustrated customers did not hold back. One user, Oshaviyah Kattow said, “This has been ongoing for WEEKS now. Months, actually! Residents of Georgetown have been receiving little to NO water for MONTHS now and the water we have been receiving has been of absolute poor quality! If is not y’all making our lives hell, it’s GPL.
Sick of this! Make haste and FIX IT cause we don’t beg ayo..
