Residents of Georgetown have taken to Facebook to express their dissatisfaction with the poor quality of water supplied by the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI).

The water, described by many as having a “coffee-coloured” appearance, has sparked wide-spread concern and frustration across the city.

GWI had previously issued a statement warning of service disruptions and potential declines in water quality due to ongoing maintenance work. Despite this warning, many residents have shared photos and videos on social media, showing the discoloured water coming from their taps, highlighting the extent of the issue.
