GWI expands mains for Melanie Damishana residents

Oct 21, 2010 News

Resident of Melanie Damishana, East Coast Demerara, will benefit from improved water service following the installation of new distribution mains, according to Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI).
The old distribution main will be decommissioned on November 6, and will cease to supply customers who have failed to pay outstanding water service charges.
According to GWI’s Divisional Manager (East Coast), Marlon Daniels,  “The existing pipeline is very old and porous. This new water main will significantly reduce non-revenue water and improve the service level for residents.”
Customers who were served by the previous system will be transferred to the new distribution main.
However, customers with balances on their accounts will not be transferred to the new main until their arrears are paid.  “It is important that customers recognize that without their consistent payment, improvements such as this are not possible,” stated the Divisional Manager. “We have a number of Melanie Damishana customers with large arrears.  These must be honoured before the customer is connected to the new system.”
GWI wants all customers to clear their outstanding balances in order to prevent any inconvenience.
