Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) said yesterday that the Perseverance Pump Station, West Coast Berbice, is currently out of operation due to Guyana Power and Light (GPL) power fluctuations.

The utility company added that as a result, customers served by this facility are experiencing a disruption in their water supply since Saturday 17th May, 2008.

GWI urged customers to be patient with the company since this disruption is beyond their control.

GPL is currently working to rectify this problem and GWI apologises for any inconvenience caused.

In the meantime GWI has dispatched tankers to the affected area with water for residents.

An official attached to GPL yesterday told the Guyana Chronicle that they are in the process of fixing the problem and soon residents at Perseverance will be able to access their normal potable water supply.
