Residents of Penny Lane, South Ruimveldt Gardens yesterday breathed a sigh of relief after water was restored to their homes following several days of disruption due to a broken water main.
This water disruption prompted them to vent their frustration on Friday night by burning tires which had to be extinguished by members of the Guyana Fire Service (GFS). The Guyana Police Force (GPF) was also on the scene in an effort to bring some calm to the situation
Residents told this newspaper that the prolonged disruption of water supply was very inconveniencing as they were solely dependent on it to get things done around the home.
“I had to use water from the trench just to flush my toilet,” one resident lamented.
