Still in the design phase, the feasibility study to convert water from the East Demerara Water Conservancy (EDWC) for domestic use is expected to commence by June, Minister of Housing and Water Collin Croal has said.
At the commissioning of the new Lusignan Well last week, Croal said as the ministry looks to sustain the water supply to citizens, it is exploring avenues outside of drilling.
He stated that the East Coast corridor has been expanding and will continue to grow via the establishment of new housing developments, resulting in a higher demand for water.
