GWI working to restore Cummings Park service

May 28, 2013 News

 

– disruption caused by emergency maintenance works

Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) will be working to restore the availability of potable water to the Cummings Park community, in Sophia. This disclosure comes after residents of Cummings Park had reportedly suffered lack of the basic necessity, for several weeks.
However, in a release to the press, the Water Authority sought to clear the air on the issue.
“The nation’s supplier of Water and Sanitation Services, (GWI) wishes to advise that the service disruption affecting customers of Cummings Park, reported in the Thursday May 23 edition of the Kaieteur News, resulted from emergency maintenance at the Cummings Lodge Well Station which commenced last week …GWI is working to restore its service,” the statement said.
A source attached to the Government agency told Kaieteur News that in such circumstances, provision is made for the dispensation of water to affected locales.
Cummings Park Residents last reported that absolutely no distribution of water was made to their neighbourhood since early April.
The Cummings Park community usually receives its water supply from the Cummings Park or Shelter Belt well stations. Residents claimed that since the disruption, they were given no other choice, than to pay $3,500 each, for the distribution of clean water to their respective homes. Some, who cannot afford this method, depend on the rains.
Information reaching this newspaper is that some people have resorted to using water from the canals to complete household tasks.
Emergency maintenance at the Cummings Lodge Well Station also resulted in reduced levels of service in Sophia (A to E Field), Liliendaal and Turkeyen.  The company is said to have issued an advisory last week, via all available sources of media, informing customers of the emergency work and the subsequent consequences.
Guyana Water Incorporated apologised for the service disruption and promised that normal service will be restored in the swiftest manner possible to all affected customers.
