Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) officials last Thursday up-dated the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region 10 on the plans to improve the Linden water supply programme by explaining the current status of the water production and distribution system in Linden, and outlining the strategy for resolving the issues at hand.
According to a release from GWI, its Managing Director, Dr Richard Van West-Charles informed that GWI is aware that the existing Linden water supply programme is not performing at its optimum while highlighting that there are many flaws in the existing water treatment plants which were design-ed by Hydea Srl of Italy in 2011, and constructed by UEM Inc. of Trinidad and Tobago. The plants cannot supply the 16,000 cubic meters required daily by Linden, due to a flaw in the design, and as a result, GWI was forced to rehabilitate two of the existing plants.
