The pupils of Timehri Primary School are now enjoying an efficient and reliable water supply following the upgrade of their system with an investment of $1.2 million from Team RUBIS.
The refurbished system was officially handed over to the staff and pupils of Timehri at the end of the last school term, a release from RUBIS said.
Spearheaded by Rabindranauth Sanichara, RUBIS Aviation Superintendent at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri the project involved the replacement of valves, water troughs, and repairing leaks in the old water system. A RUBIS contractor completed the upgrade work, and the system now operates as a hybrid between gravity flow and pressurized flow.
Head Teacher of Timehri Primary School, Ian Cush, in accepting on behalf of the staff, pupils and parents of the school, expressed sincere gratitude to RUBIS and Sanichara in particular, for taking an interest in the Timehri Primary School.
“We thank him for observing our water system, seeing that it needed urgent repairs, and immediately starting this intervention to upgrade it. We are proud to know that our stakeholder from the business community saw our need and was able to expeditiously coordinate this important project. I am blissful, knowing that there are no more leakages to be seen, and we as beneficiaries are now exposed to an upgraded water system and a supply of clean pure water which in my estimation will serve us for many years ahead,” Cush said.
