$55M well commissioned at Somerset Village

Dec 13, 2010 News

A new $55M well and pumping station were commissioned at Somerset Village, Essequibo Coast, last Thursday.
Minister of Housing and Water, Irfaan Ali, who officially commissioned the Somerset well, stated that over $765M has been spent on these types of facilities within the last three years, referring to the completion of the wells at Good Hope and Onderneeming in Region Two.
He explained that continued improvement within the water sector will only be possible if citizens take the responsibility of paying for water seriously because in any project or programme, financial contributions are necessary to ensure continued growth and development.
According to the Minister, progress in the water sector is being monitored by a colour coded process; with blue being the standard of excellence, which a majority of the Essequibo Coast has already achieved.
Chief Executive Officer of the Guyana Water Incorporation (GWI), Yuri Chandisingh, who was also present at the commissioning ceremony, stated that only when persons compared the days when they did not have such privileges such as access to such water facilities and wells, with being able to benefit from such improvements these days, then they can fully be appreciative.
Region Two Chairman Ali Baksh added that this new well signifies improvement for the residents in the area.
