Mining operations cease water supply at Port Kaituma
Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) says that it is currently experiencing operational difficulties at its facility at Port Kaituma, Region One. Mining activities have affected the water supply being utilized by the community, the GWI stated.
According to the utility company, the water production facility serving the community ceased operations yesterday due to mining activities affecting the source of water supply. 
GWI’s hinterland team indicated that due to the influx of mud at the source, the pump at the facility is unable to perform as usual.
GWI’s hinterland team has advised that the source of water cannot be utilized until a significant intervention is executed by relevant authorities to cease all mining activities affecting GWI’s operations in the community.
“This is the second incident of the year in which mining operations have affected GWI’s hinterland service. A GWI team will be visiting the community today to conduct further investigations and to conduct water quality tests in order to take further action.” GWI noted.
“GWI’s hinterland team will be partnering with the regional authorities and all relevant parties to restore normal service to Port Kaituma in the swiftest manner possible.”
