GWI has sent warning letters to just over 60 customers in Georgetown who are refusing to pay their bills.
A release from the utility said that “GWI has appealed to customers in the past, even going as far as a country-wide disconnection campaign, however, we are forced to take legal action since some customers simply refuse to pay for the service,” stated Niles, “these customers are primarily from the Festival City, North Ruimveldt and South Ruimveldt communities.”
Demand letters were sent to over 60 customers indicating that legal action will be taken against them should they fail to pay all arrears for water service. “Customers are simply required to contact or visit the office to indicate the manner in which they intend to settle their arrears,” stated the Corporate Services Director, Nigel Niles, “GWI continues to offer customers the option of a payment plan.”
