GWI to drill 5 new wells along Linden-Soesdyke Highway & Linden
A team from Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) led by its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Shaik Baksh visited several villages along the Soesdyke-Linden Highway and Linden where they engaged residents on possible sites to drill new wells.
The areas visited were Timehri, Kuru Kuru, Kairuni, Old England/Siberia, and Coomacka.
In Timehri, the team held discussions with key personnel from the GDF Air Corp to ascertain an appropriate site for the drilling of a well in the area.
However, in Kuru Kuru, residents were upbeat about the prospects of having a new well drilled in the area, as this will improve the supply of potable water to the community.
Additionally, in Kairuni and Old England, sites were identified for the wells to be drilled, with the cooperation of residents and the input of the GWI team.
Also, the residents of Coomacka were elated as they raised their concerns and assisted the team in identifying an area in the community for a new well.
The drilling of wells and other infrastructural works for these communities will be completed by the end of this year and will provide much-needed access to water supply by Guyana Water Inc.
GWI has recently completed the drilling of wells along the Soesdyke-Linden Highway at Swan, Waiacabra, Long Creek, Kairuni, and Bamia.
Follow-up visits will be conducted in those areas with further assessments and preparations for the mobilisation of the team to commence work.
GWI remains committed to ensuring that residents have access to safe and reliable water sources.
