Approximately 15,000 residents of the Diamond/Grove area and its environs are expected to receive a better supply of water by December, as the Guyana Water Company (GWI) has completed the drilling of the second well in the area.
At a media visit to the new facility at Little Diamond yesterday, CEO of GWI, Dr. Richard Van West-Charles explained that the well is the first to have been dug using a new ‘reverse circulation’ technique and was done by Netherland-based Company, De Ruiter Groundwater Techneik.
Van West-Charles said that the finished well is the first of three that the Dutch company will be doing, as they will soon commence works at Sparendaam and Sophia.
