Kaieteur News – The Guyana Water Incorporation (GWI) has announced a campaign to install some 20,000 water meters along the coastlands during the course of this year.
The move comes as a part of the company’s strategic plan for 2020 to 2025, to achieve 85 percent metering, against baseline data from 2019 which reflected 53 percent metering along the coastland.
According to the company, it is aiming to reduce water losses—often referred to as Non-Revenue Water (NRW)—from 70 percent in 2019 to 55 percent by 2025.
Among the areas to be metered during this year in Regions two, three four, six and ten are Anna Regina, Cotton Field, Lima, Mainstay, Reliance and Walton Hall, Anna Catherina, Den Amstel, Cornelia Ida, Goed Fortuin, Pouderoyen and Versailles, Williamsburg, Rose Hall town, Nigg and Port Mourant and Amelia’s Ward Linden.
While, on the East Bank Demerara, metering will be done in Eccles, Farm, Great Diamond and Little Diamond and on the East Coast Demerara, Better Hope, Industry, Lusignan, Ogle and Happy Acres.
The Georgetown metering schedule includes Kitty, Lamaha Gardens, Queenstown, South Ruimveldt Gardens and Bel Air Gardens.
In the 2022 national budget a sum of $4.9 billion was provided for the improvement of the water sector in the country.
