GWI working to resolve water challenges at Cummings Lodge

In light of ongoing water supply challenges being faced by residents of the New Cummings Lodge Housing Scheme and surrounding areas, Guyana Water Inc. is working to resolve the situation swiftly and effectively.
In a release to the media, GWI stated that it has been actively working to enhance water distribution in the New Cummings Lodge area through the drilling of new wells at New Cummings Lodge and North Ruimveldt.
“These wells were intended to bolster supply following the unfortunate collapse of the Turkeyen well, which had been a critical source of water for the region. Further, the well at North Ruimveldt has been experiencing challenges due to the drop in production at that site. However, despite our best efforts, the newly drilled wells have not yet been productive, impacting the reliability of water service in the area,” GWI added.
To address the situation, GWI says it is undertaking remedial works on the wells and the network distribution system. These measures aim to restore water supply to the community as soon as possible.
“In the interim, GWI is delivering tanks of water daily to ensure that residents have access to this vital resource. We are also maintaining regular communication to keep residents informed about our progress.”
“We are confident that the ongoing remedial efforts will yield positive results in the shortest possible time. As such teams have been on the ground daily actively working to find solutions to ensure that the issues that are being faced are solved in the shortest possible time. Daily updates on our progress will be shared through the media and our official communication channels.”
The company thanked the residents of New Cummings Lodge and the wider community for their resilience and cooperation during this period.
