“Residents from Betsy Ground, Gangaram and surrounding areas are among the 15,000 customers from some 24 communities in Region Six, Berbice, who will benefit from the Sheet Anchor water treatment plant”.
This is according to the Guyana Water Inc. Public Relations Officer, Ms Leana Bradshaw, in a letter to the media yesterday.
GWI is rejecting the notion of uncertainty shared by the resident of Lower East Canje in an article in the Kaieteur Newspaper on September 30.
The PR officer of GWI is claiming that the issue had been addressed on numerous occasions.
“Dr. Richard Van West-Charles has said on numerous occasions that the residents of Lower East Canje were taken into consideration during the initial planning of the project and will be served by the water treatment facility”
Bradshaw also claimed that the issue was clarified in a press release issued on June 1, 2018. Managing Director, Dr. Richard Van West-Charles contended, “This is going to be very important in terms of the villages that are going to be the beneficiaries from Number 25 Village down to Gangaram.”
A list of 24 villages that are scheduled to benefit from the Sheet Anchor water treatment plant which is 34 percent complete and scheduled for implementation in September, 2019 was submitted by GWI.
