Water & GWI

Guyana Water Inc. (GWI): Did you know that you could set your watch in the evening to 10:00p.m. (that's when they cut off water). They're so exact, precise, on-time. But you and your watch would be in total confusion if you try to set it in the morning as they do not have a set hour/minute that they put back on the water flow. Now how annoying is that. So you wake up at 4:30 a.m. and most times you get that gurgling sound that makes you groan in despair. The groan is two-way (one for the fact there's no water and the second is for the fact that only GWI knows when we will get that most precious of liquids). And a few mornings lo and behold water is running at that hour. Did the guy wake up early, you wonder. Someone told me that 2 weeks ago they were on TV stating that we're on the threshold of One of the FEW wonders of Guyana (24-hours running water). Oh my gosh...that will be the day...and the night.
