Chief Executive Officer of Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI), Shaik Baksh, recently led a team of well experts, hydrologists, and engineers to assess the water supply system in Plegt Anker, East Bank Berbice.
A release from GWI said that the visit focused on evaluating the condition of the community’s well and determining sustainable solutions to enhance water delivery.
Plegt Anker is a small farming community that relies heavily on agriculture for its livelihood. Access to clean and reliable water is essential for both domestic use and farming activities. However, the community’s existing well has deteriorated over time, limiting its ability to meet residents’ needs, the release said. Recognizing this challenge, GWI has committed to refurbishing the well and installing house connections, giving residents first-time access to a stable water supply.
During the visit, the GWI team engaged with residents to discuss the project’s scope and ensure they were fully informed of the upcoming improvements.
The CEO reassured the community that this initiative is part of GWI’s broader strategy to expand water infrastructure in underserved areas across Guyana.
