– Timehri North residents“We are not prepared to move unless there is proper compensation. No property evaluation was done for the 2,400 plus residents living in the area.

Now you are going to tell 2,400 residents we (government) are grading you down… And they never said to us that we are stopping development.”

According to Customer Services Manager Jeanette Thomas,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, while the disconnection campaign launched in June 2013 initially garnered a large response from customers, the utility has been experiencing a decline in revenues since October.“Customers in particular areas simply refuse to respond to our appeals despite the fact that they are receiving excellent service,” stated the Customer Services Manager. “We are now forced to remove the entire service of customers who have not made any payments or attempted to resolve their debt with the utility company. ?Thomas explained that the utility company launched several initiatives to recover outstanding debts including ‘Wallet-friendly Payment Plans’ which allow customers to pay their debt in small, flexible amounts.“We also launched another phase of our Community Connect programme,’ stated Thomas. ‘We visited communities in Mahaicony, Timehri, Buxton, Annandale and Enterprise, East Coast Demerara; unfortunately the response was poor in some communities and we will be forced to remove the entire service of these customers who refuse to make any payments.GWI Executive Director of Finance, Jaigopaul Ram, stated, “More than 50 per cent of our customer database is in debt and we are forced to take this action because our energy costs continue to increase. We have expanded water service on the East Coast of Demerara and we have improved our service in Georgetown, East Bank of Demerara and Bartica which has increased electricity costs.“We cannot continue to provide water service at such high costs and not receive adequate revenues from our customers.”In addition to payment plans and community outreach, GWI offered waivers to disconnected customers and those with large arrears.? “This yielded minimal results,” said the Customer Services Manager.“We have no option but to disconnect our customers, remove their entire service and have them start the process of registering for a new service again.”Thomas explained that disconnected customers would be required to visit the nearest GWI branch to register for a new service and pay the necessary penalties, including disconnection fees.“GWI contractors and water service inspectors will be policing communities to ensure that disconnected customers do not illegally reconnect their service or tamper with GWI’s system’, stated the GWI Manager.“Once disconnected,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, GWI contractors will return all equipment,Brendan Langley Jersey, including service connections and saddles to the company.
