Aug 13, 2026 News

(Kaieteur News) – Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) has received two bids for the design review and supervision of the construction of a Water Treatment Plant to be located at Great Diamond (Block 3), East Bank Demerara.

Kaieteur News understands that the project will be financed through a loan the government acquired from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) under the Climate Resilient Water Infrastructure Improvement Project.

According to information provided by the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB), the bidders are HYDROPLAN Ingenieur-Gesellschaft mbH (Germany) and C.B & Associates Inc. (Guyana).

GWI, in its tender document, stated that the consulting services include the design review and supervision of the construction of a water treatment plant, as well as the installation of transmission mains.

It was reported in March 2025 that GWI stated the initiative was being carried out under the Guyana Climate Resilient Water Supply Improvement Programme, in collaboration with the IDB and JICA.

Once completed, the water treatment plant will significantly enhance water access for thousands of residents along the East Bank corridor, ensuring a more resilient, sustainable, and efficient water supply system. The project will also reduce groundwater abstraction and improve climate adaptability through modern infrastructure and non-revenue water (NRW) reduction initiatives.

As part of the broader Guyana Climate Resilient Water Supply Improvement Programme, the project will be supported by key infrastructure investments, including investment in water treatment and transmission, which seeks to construct a modern water treatment facility, raw water intake infrastructure, and 30 kilometres of new transmission mains.

GWI said it remains committed to providing safe, reliable, and affordable water services while adapting to the challenges posed by climate change.

GWI’s Chief Executive Officer, Shaik Baksh, reaffirmed the company’s dedication to delivering improved service quality to residents across the country, stating: “This partnership with IDB and JICA represents a major step forward in ensuring a sustainable and climate-resilient water supply for our growing communities, which we are witnessing through developmental transformation and expansion. The new Diamond Surface Water Treatment Plant is a key component in our vision for a modern and efficient water system.”
