PUC to check water situation on West Dem

The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) will today visit Hague Back, Cornelia Ida and De Kinderen/Met-en-Meer-Zorg for a first-hand look at the water supply situation there.

In recent weeks, residents of these areas have complained and protested over the lack of potable water supply.

A release from the PUC said it is expected that representatives of Guyana Water Inc will be present.

The PUC said it had earlier in the year visited Parika/Met-en-Meer-Zorg and nearby areas and an undertaking had been given that the matter would have been under control. โ€œThe Commission has learnt via press reports that all is not well and hopes to learn what are the real causes which contribute to the suffering of the citizensโ€, the PUC said.
