Minister of Housing and Water Collin Croal has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to enhancing water service by 2025, in the attempt to afford improved access to treated water on a 24-hour basis.
According to a Department of Public Information (DPI) press release, Croal explained that the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI)’s 2021 to 2025 five-year strategic plan had the overall aim of delivering 90 percent treated water by 2025. “On the coastland [from Charity all the way to Moleson Creek] we must have 100 percent access of water to households, and similarly in the hinterland. That is our objective, that is our target that we are trying to achieve and we have about two more years to ensure that we achieve that,” Croal said.
