Residents of De Willem Housing Scheme, West Coast Demerara, are now able to access treated potable water, and electricity after the intervention of the Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water.
During a visit to the community on Wednesday, Minister Susan Rodrigues stated that the temporary fix involved getting an intermediate feed of treated water from the Zeeburg water distribution network, which is in turn being sourced from the Uitvlugt treatment water plant. She added that a more permanent solution is to have a direct connection to the Uitvlugt water treatment plant, which she revealed, will come in a few months’ time.
