Decommissioning of old sewer mains starts today – GWI

Jun 18, 2014 News

The Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) announced that under the Government of Guyana and Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) US$ 10 Million Georgetown Sanitation Improvement Programme, the company will be decommissioning old sewer mains to facilitate activation of the new sewerage system which was recently rehabilitated under the programme.
The decommissioning exercise will commence today (Wednesday June 18, 2014) and will be followed by the activation of the rehabilitated Force and Delivery Mains as well as 24 refurbished sewer pump stations.  This exercise may result in a temporary interruption of the system.
The main sewage system in central Georgetown which caters to about 50,000 residents is being upgraded.
The loan will be applicable for a five-year period and will help to fund four components of the project, the first being the rehabilitation of the Georgetown sewer ring main. The present upgrades will spread over 30 months, with an 18-month execution and a 12-month defect liability period.
The contract was awarded to S. Jagmohan Hardware Supplies and Contracting Services in collaboration with Nabi Construction Inc. as the Contracting Firms.
Customers with concerns are asked to contact GWI’s Sanitation Hotline numbers on 227-8718 and 226-6059 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 to 17:00hours.   The company says that it anticipates a successful transition to the rehabilitated system and assures customers that every effort is being taken to minimize any inconvenience the temporary interruption may cause.
“GWI customers with further questions can also e-mail GWI’s Public Relations Department via [email protected] or visit www.gwiguyana.com.”
