President of Guyana Dr Irfaan Ali made a commitment that by 2025, 100% of residents along the coast will have access to treated water. The Head of State said that $11b has been earmarked to achieve this feat as well as other initiatives.
The announcement was made during the commission of a new well station at Lusignan on the East Coast of Demerara. The $141m water distribution system will benefit some 22,000 residents of Lusignan and its surrounding communities.
