Minister Ali said that the signing of the contracts is a testimony to government’s actions and commitment to improving the living conditions and livelihood of Guyanese.
He said the administration is investing more than $240M to improve water pressure and flow to the residents of the East Coast Demerara area, which includes installing service connections and upgrades.
“By the end of this year, we should be satisfied with the level of flow and pressure that we will be delivering to customers,” he said.
This is good for the communities who have been suffering at the hand of low water pressure for a while now. Diamond is rapidly growing; I see a bank is already being constructed also many infrastructure enhancements are taking place.
ReplyDeleteWell finally!!
ReplyDeleteAfter so long residents of those communities who complained is now seeing their voices being heard; this says good for the water sector which has come under so many criticisms over the years.
Watch at that table cloth. My gosh. I think that fella doing the signing has been blinded by the table cloth.
