According to Public Relations Officer of GWI, Timothy Austin, customers residing in the aforementioned streets will experience minor traffic diversion, breaking of roads and noise associated with the use of heavy equipment.

An agreement was signed between the Government of Guyana and the IDB for the sum of US$10M for the improvement of the operational performance of the Georgetown Sewerage System. This contract was signed on December 8, 2010, based on an agreement that the GOG and the IDB will cooperate in the execution of the Georgetown Sanitation Improvement Programme.
Components of the Programme will include the complete replacement of the 5.5 KM sewerage ring main in Georgetown; replacement of all delivery mains; purchase and installation of additional pumps for the 24 pumping stations to ensure adequate pressure, operational reliability and improvement to the electrical connections. It will also include an assessment and emergency rehabilitation of street sewers in selected areas and purchase of maintenance and operating equipment.
