Residents are suffering

Jun 15, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,

A serious health hazard of sewerage overflow has erupted in Henry Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, dating back to late March this year.

The Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) received initial reports and made numerous promises to rectify the problem. Until early May, GWI granted some relief (through the assistance of Puran Disposal Services) which lasted merely a few hours following a 10-minute suction pump exercise at the overflow. To date, nothing more has been done except for renewed promises by GWI. The residents are suffering severely – not to mention the stench and health risks.

At this stage, it is only humane that GWI refer the water rates already paid for the current year to 2010 and offer tangible compensation costs for damage done to property.
