Residents of Mahdia and Campbelltown in Region 8 can expect improvements to their water and electricity services, according to the Guyana Water Inc (GWI) and the Hinterland Electrification Company Inc (HECI).
In a letter to Stabroek News dated December 9, 2024, Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) acknowledged the water supply struggles faced by residents of both communities. According to GWI’s Communications Manager, Travis Bruce, the issues stem primarily from reduced output at the Salbora Spring, which serves as the main water source for these areas. The prolonged dry season had significantly impacted the spring’s water levels, forcing GWI to implement a series of remedial works to address system leakages in the catchment area. Bruce assured residents that these repairs were nearly completed and that the catchment area would be reactivated within days, bringing much-needed relief to the affected areas.
