Residents of Blueberry Hill, Linden will receive an improved level of water service with the installation of a new transmission line. The line is being installed from the Wisroc elevated tank area.
The contract amounting to $4M was awarded to Toolsie Persaud and a second contract was awarded for the installation of a new transmission line to Block 22, Linden to improve the level of service there.
The area has been suffering from poor service for some time. The Wisroc elevated tank was rehabilitated as part of the improvement programme.
The project, which is being funded from a recent $200M European Union grant, is expected to ensure that the service will improve significantly in the affected areas. The project entails the installation of a new mechanical and electrical plant at the Wisroc Water Treatment Plant.
The project design caters for additional future households to be connected to the water distribution system, since Blueberry Hill and Block 22 are expanding housing areas.
