– GWI

Guyana Water Incorporated, GWI, is advising old aged pensioners (65 and older) that through the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security there is a subsidy for eligible GWI customers for payments of their bills. However, there needs to be registration by beneficiaries.
According to GWI, customers of Georgetown are granted $11,880 yearly, while customers outside of Georgetown are granted $8,976 yearly.
The Pensioners’ subsidy is granted by the Government of Guyana through the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security to persons who are recipients of the Government’s Old Age Pension.
Adding that pensioners can be disconnected for non-payment, GWI, says pensioners should advise GWI of their Old-age Pension Status by calling 227-8701 since the pensioner’s subsidy only covers one property; and the water bill must be in the pensioner’s name before the subsidy is granted.
Underscoring that the subsidy is only granted to the address stated on the pensioner’s voucher, GWI notes the Pensioners’ subsidy is not an exemption. A pensioner must pay any arrears that exceed the granted subsidy; while the Pensioners’ Subsidy is granted to both domestic and commercial GWI customers who are Pensioners.
