The Guyana Water Inc (GWI) today said that that due to voltage fluctuations on the West Coast of Demerara, customers served by four GWI water production facilities are experiencing low service levels.
In a press release, GWI said that the affected well stations include La Grange, L’Ortoire, Parfaite Harmonie and Westminster.
Divisional Operations Manager, Marlon Daniels, was quoted as saying “these well stations are all interconnected and serve customers in the communities of La Grange, Bagotville, Nismes, all of Canal # 1, Independence Street, and the entire Parfaite Harmonie Housing Scheme. Whenever one of these wells is out of operation, all the aforementioned areas suffer from low service levels.”
Daniels assured that GWI is working with the Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL) to resolve all issues affecting service delivery. He further stated “over the last month and a half, the quality of power received by our well stations has been unreliable, which, due to the delicate operating parameters, has caused one or more of these pumps to malfunction at peak periods, particularly the one at Westminster”, GWI said.
