Director General of the Ministry of Public Utilities and Aviation, Mr. Alfonso De Armas, this morning visited the site of the new water treatment plant under construction at Bath, West Coast Berbice.
He was joined by Mr. Arshad Yacoub, Engineer in Charge of Foreign Funded Projects and Mr. Orin Browne, Head of the Well Drilling Unit.
Once completed, the plant will treat 18 million litres per day, serving residents from Kingelly to Jacoba.
Three new wells are being drilled to feed it, so source and treatment capacity come online together. The project is set for completion December 31.
The Director General put the contractors on notice that the Ministry’s policy on delayed projects will be enforced, and that liquidated damages will be applied without exception where deadlines are missed.
Bath is one more plant in a coastline-wide build-out toward the Government’s commitment of treated water for every household.
