The Council meets with wash bay operators to implement service fees

The MAYOR and City Council of Georgetown is working to regularize and implement service fees for wash bay operators throughout the city.
Representatives of the Council met with several wash bay operators on Wednesday in an attempt to charge for the usage of the facilities, which fall under the maintenance of the municipality.
Public Relations Officer, Debra Lewis, told Kaieteur News, the Council is looking to impose a fee of $10,000 for wash bay activities.
“There is increase in the cost of maintenance to parapets, drains as a result of the sand and other materials washed into the waterways, and the inconvenience and discomfort to neighbours in communities where such activities are occurring, on a daily basis.”
She noted that the Council has met with owners and operators of car wash bays operating within the city of Georgetown “to bring them in line with the required standards of the city as stipulated in the Municipal and District Councils Act, Chapter 28:01.”
Last year, the Council had announced a move to have owners and operators be inspected and regularized, and that they meet the requirements determined by the Council.
