Water Crisis Hits Guyana’s Key Regions

Water quality in Guyana’s Regions Four, Seven, and Ten is dangerously off the mark, with alarming levels of acidity, cloudiness, and iron far exceeding WHO safety standards. Region Ten’s Amelia’s Ward and Linden saw iron levels nearly six times the limit and dangerously low pH, while Region Four’s Grove to Sparendaam had iron readings over eleven times the safe amount. Officials blame poor raw water and aging pipes. Meanwhile, Regions Two through Six mostly meet standards, and thirteen GWI treatment plants remain compliant. But a major setback: GWI’s water meter rollout has stalled, installing just over 8,000 meters in 2025—with almost none in the second half—due to supply chain chaos, pushing the full rollout to 2028. The PUC is watching closely. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
