NEAR-COMPLETION OF PARIKA WATER TREATMENT PLANT BRINGS TREATED WATER TO THOUSANDS FOR THE FIRST TIME

The Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) is pleased to announce that the Parika Water Treatment Plant, constructed by Toshiba Water Solutions, is nearing completion and is currently undergoing testing. This state-of-the-art facility, which is one of the seven new facilities that is being constructed through the Coastal Water Treatment Infrastructure Programme (CWTIP) which is financed by the Government of Guyana. In addition, a new well is being drilled, that will serve residents from Greenwich Park to St. Lawrence, bringing treated water directly to 17,000 residents for the first time. 

Once fully operational, the plant will produce over 7 million liters of treated water daily, significantly improving access to clean and reliable water for the region. The new facility represents a transformative milestone in GWI's mission to deliver high-quality water to all Guyanese. 

At present, there is testing ongoing to ensure the system functions optimally and this is a critical part of ensuring that residents are able to receive the best delivery of service. During this period, some residents may experience reduced water pressure or water with a higher iron content as the system flushes the pipelines. GWI is actively working around the clock to mitigate these temporary inconveniences and to ensure the water delivered meets the highest quality standards. 

The testing phase is expected to conclude within the next two (2) weeks, after which the facility will be officially commissioned. This new treatment plant underscores GWI's commitment to enhancing water access and quality for communities across Guyana. We thank the residents of Parika and the surrounding areas for their patience and understanding as we finalize this critical infrastructure project.
