Residents along the Essequibo Coast will benefit from improved water both in quantity and accessibility because of the substantial advancements being made at the Onderneeming water treatment plant in Region Two.
According to a press release from the Department of Public Information, nearly 20,000 people from Taymouth Manor to Supenaam are anticipated to be served by the treatment facility once it is finished, benefiting over 4,000 homes.
On Friday, the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) regional manager and regional chairperson Vilma DaSilva joined Minister of Housing and Water Collin Croal at the site to personally assess the work, the release said. Croal emphasised that the project was critical, pointing out that the Essequibo Coast did not have access to treated water. He underlined that the region’s water infrastructure will be improved by two large investments, the first of which was the Onderneeming plant, it added.
