Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) has indicated plans to increase the number of water distribution trucks for Sophia residents, in light of complaints by some that they were forced to resort to using trench water for domestic purposes due to the inadequate supply they were receiving.
‘E’ Field, Sophia residents told Stabroek News on Monday that the delayed furnishing of a GWI well in area had left them without an adequate water supply. At that time, the street was lined with buckets and drums, while residents patiently awaited the arrival of a “water truck” contracted by the GWI to temporarily supply water to residents in the area.
