GWI to build two new offices in Reg. 8

May 17, 2026 News

(Kaieteur News) – The Guyana Water Inc. is currently seeking contractors to build two new regional offices that are to be located in Mahdia and Paramakatoi in Region Eight.

According to an invitation for bids issued by the agency, bids are expected to open at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) office on May 21, 2026.

The government has allocated a sum of $21.6 billion to the water sector, part of which will be used to finance the two office projects.

Kaieteur News understands that upon completion of the offices, GWI would be in a better position to connect with its customers across the region thereby improving customer service and improved water infrastructure resulting in a more reliable supply of water.

Back in 2021, at the site of the construction of the $23 million GWI Lethem office, Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal had mentioned that moves to construct these offices form part of a bigger plan to consolidate the offices that fall under the purview of the Ministry.

“As you’re aware, GWI has a number of regional offices for which we’re renting…so in the long term it is intended for us to have permanent regional offices and so we’ll have savings in our operational cost but more importantly, the staff will be comfortable,” he said at the time.

The constructing of regional offices also forms part of GWI’s push to achieve 100 percent water coverage across the hinterland communities. Some of the areas GWI moved to establish offices include Lethem in Region Nine, and Mabaruma in Region One.
