The Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) on Thursday commissioned a $30 million water supply system that will serve Deutichem, De Kinderen, Highbury and Light Town, on the East Bank of Berbice, with potable water on a 24-hour basis.
The commissioning ceremony was held at Highbury and coincided with the observance of World Water Day.
A GWI statement subsequently said that with the new system, some 45 households from Deutichem to Light Town have gained first time access to potable water, which is being provided on a 24-hour basis by the Edinburgh Pump Station.
