(Kaieteur News) – The government through the Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) is inviting contractors to bid for the establishment of a water treatment plant at Mabaruma, Region One.
According to the tender notice, the project is for the plant design, supply, installation and commissioning of the facility. The bids for the project are expected to open on December 2, 2025 at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) office.

The technical team from the Guyana Water Inc. conducting site visits for a new water treatment plant at Mabaruma, Region One.
The Guyana Water Inc. had reported a few days ago that a high-level technical team from its office conducted critical site visits as preparations ramp up for major water infrastructure development in the region.
The primary goal of the visit was to conduct a thorough analysis and discussion on the geographical layout and capacity of the area’s water systems. Discussions were centered on identifying the most reliable potential water sources to feed the new treatment plant.
GWI stated that the Mabaruma Water Treatment Plant is set to serve Central Mabaruma and its surrounding communities.
“This plant is designed to fundamentally transform water delivery in Mabaruma by streamlining water quality and facilitating a 24-hour supply to residents. Currently, Mabaruma relies on a water system that limits service to intermittent, sectional delivery. The treatment plant will consolidate and enhance this system for consistent service,” the agency had explained.
GWI stated that the construction of this water treatment plant, alongside the development of new wells, signifies the government’s unwavering commitment to expanding essential utilities and improving the daily lives of citizens in every region.
“GWI’s proactive efforts in Mabaruma underscore the dedication to building robust, modern infrastructure that ensures reliable, high-quality water service for all,” the agency noted.
