Feb 14, 2013 News

Works on the Linden Water Supply Rehabilitation Programme (LWSRP) will begin within two months as Universal Earth Movers Incorporated (UEM Inc) whom the contract was awarded to, started mobilizing its materials and equipment, according to Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI.)
The water utility signed a $1.7 billion contract last year for the construction of two water treatment plants, booster stations and storage facilities.
Director of Capital Investment and planning of Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) Ramchand Jailall says that staff members of UEM Inc to which the contracts were awarded have arrived in Guyana and are currently mobilizing its materials and equipment. GWI signed two contracts in September last for the rehabilitation and upgrade of the Linden water distribution system.
It includes the construction of two new water treatment plants at Amelia’s Ward and Wisroc, as well as booster stations, reservoirs, and the installation of transmission mains.
It will also include the rehabilitation of the distribution system and replacing leaking pipelines and service connections.
According to GWI, through the combination of the new treatment facilities and the reduction of leaks as well as an upgrade of the distribution system, Linden customers will experience improved water quality as well as higher levels of service.
Over the next five years, GWI will undertake a series of large-scale civil works which will include the construction of two new water treatment plants at Amelia’s Ward and Wisroc, as well as booster stations, reservoirs, and the installation of transmission mains; as well as the rehabilitation of the distribution system, including replacing leaking pipelines and service connections.
