DEAR EDITOR,
I write this letter to air my frustration about a situation that I feel has continued to worsen. I cannot comprehend in a day and age like this that people in Urban Georgetown (Independence Boulevard to be precise) are struggling to get water from their taps.
I can provide to you receipts for water rates. I wonder what I am paying for, when I have to fetch water when it is barely dripping at the pipe early in the morning or later in the evening.
Imagine grown men and women having to go to work, school children having to go to school scampering around just to get a bucket of water to have a bath and others being parked up whole day awaiting water to do the other household chores.
I believe Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) needs to do a thorough introspection of the service they are providing. I also think that we are not preparing enough for the increase in housing and all the other infrastructural developments that are taking place.
It was evident during the Cricket World cup 2007 when many villages had water shortages because of the requirements of the various hotels and accommodation facilities.
It is also very shameful and embarrassing for the government to be on a tourism drive and cannot provide the basic utilities to the urban part of the country.
I can only hope that this situation can be swiftly resolved. Concerned Resident
