Bottled Water Betrayal or Public Good | Guyana News
Description
A $496 million state-owned water bottling plant is sparking outrage as critics slam it as a costly distraction from fixing failing tap water systems nationwide. Opponents argue the project avoids the government’s core responsibility, fuels plastic pollution, and undermines local businesses that already supply 95% of the bottled water market. They demand a 60-day plan for safe tap water and full transparency on the project’s finances. The Minister defends it as a move to slash imported water costs and make bottles under $100 — but industry groups warn it could cripple private investment.
