Although it is a near impossible task to prevent water theft, the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) is looking towards a more stringent enforcement tactic to dissuade such actions. At least this was accentuated by recently appointed Chief Executive of the entity, Shaik Baksh.Baksh said that people are so scheming in their actions that they are able to tamper with water meters which are in fact supposed to be tamperproof.The Chief Executive confided that the water company was in fact hoping to combat the dilemma through a public education programme which intensified over the past few days.However, he asserted, “I see that we would now have to do more enforcement that is, taking people to the courts. If we disconnect people and they reconnect themselves and we disconnect them again and they reconnect a second time they have to go to the courts. We are going to take this action more and more now.”According to him water wastage coupled with the resistance to pay for the liquid represents an embedded culture in the Guyanese society which needs to be arrested with much urgency.Moreover, he disclosed that GWI intends to intensify efforts at policing of the system. This however would require more staffers to man the various divisions of GWI in order to bring into account those who are disconnected but opt to reconnect themselves.“Water is easy to reconnect; it is not like electricity. When you disconnect somebody in a rural area they go to their neighbour and get reconnected or they connect back with a poly hose…”Baksh categorically insisted that “people actually feel that they have a right to free water and this means a loss to the utility and it affects our revenue position.” This is particularly evident with non-revenue water,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, that is, water that is billed for but for which the utility company does not receive payment.However, GWI has a strategic plan in place which is aimed at addressing the loss situation faced by the company. With massive metering throughout the country Baksh asserted that “once people consume more water they will pay more or a higher tariff rate.” Not only does he anticipates that this will reduce the level of consumption but it will also serve to significantly reduce the water company’s energy cost.  At the moment GWI’s monthly energy cost is valued at about $220 million which is payable to the Guyana Power and Light Inc.GWI is also seeking to offset its expenses by revising its current tariff structure,Cheap Authentic Jerseys, a proposal which is currently before the Public Utilities Commission. Baksh said that a new tariff structure is imperative since the old one “is obsolete. In one sense it has too many bands when compared to the present one proposed to the PUC.”The revised regime could become effective by January 1, 2013. Once implemented, the new tariff regime will allow for categorizing customers,Jerseys China Cheap NFL, rates for consumers of treated and non-treated water, domestic and non-domestic rates, fixed charges,NFL Jerseys Outlet, tariff bands for sewerage services, security deposits and other ancillary matters.“It is a simpler tariff structure that we are proposing and it is more harmonised and there will be increases but in some cases people will be paying less.” Currently there is a minimum charge of 10 cubic metres of water for metered customers but under the new tariff if five cubic is used customers are only billed for that amount only,Wholesale NBA Jerseys, Baksh explained.Having operated in the Chief Executive position for the past two months,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, Baksh said that he has gained the support of all the top managers adding that “we work as a cohesive team and there is participation from very lower levels of management in all that we do and we are bringing things together.”According to him GWI needed strong leadership and “I am trying to provide that leadership…” in the quest to address the many existing challenges especially in terms of water losses and energy cost.He is also eyeing, closely, an expansive capital investment programme to stem leakages in the system which also causes GWI suffer losses too. According to him while losses cannot be eliminated efforts are certainly in overdrive to reduce them.
