The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) has approved a US$76.2m loan to the Government of Guyana for the Guyana Water Supply Improvement Project under which systems serving five coastal communities will see major upgrades.
A release yesterday from the CDB said that the infrastructure development initiative involves the construction of five water treatment plants, with storage tanks, and the installation of transmission mains and water meters to vastly improve the quality and reliability of the water supply to Bush Lot, Tain to No. 50 Village, Berbice; Walton Hall to Charity, Wakenaam and Leguan in Essequibo. Nearly 15,000 households in these communities will benefit from the interventions, the release said.
