Residents of Lima Sands, Essequibo (Pomeroon-Supenaam) will benefit from improved water quality, following steps by the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) to reduce the presence of iron in their water supply through the use of a product called SeaQuest.
Lima Sands gained a constant source of water supply from the utility earlier this year, a GWI release said.
This was as a result of the completion of a new well worth approximately $117 million. Previously, residents were tapping water through a creek or via rain water harvesting.
