Responding to a statement by APNU+AFC Member of Parliament, Jermaine Figueira, GWI yesterday said that a storm in Linden on September 24 had disrupted water supply and it had been proactive in trying to address the issue.
The Guyana Water Inc (GWI) said that Figueira’s statement on Wednesday had failed to identify the main causes of the water problem and tried to attribute this to the utility.
“The facts, however, are that the water supply was disrupted as a result of the storm which occurred on September 24, 2024 that caused significant damage to electrical infrastructure including a large 800kVA transformer which supplies electricity to the Wisroc Treatment Plant. The supply of electricity to the plant is the responsibility of the Linden Utility Services Co-op Society Limited (LUSCSL).
