Customers of the Guyana Water Incorporated will this holiday season be able save and win in the company’s ‘Holiday Slash and Cash’ promotion, which was launched at its Vlissengen Road, Georgetown location.
The promotion, which will run from December 11-29, will see customers being given the chance to receive a one month waiver on their water bill from GWI when they pay off the balance on their account of $15,000 or more.
The waiver will be credited to the customer’s account after the billing cycle for the following month. Five (5) customers from each Regional Office will be randomly selected weekly, via a drawing which will be televised.
The company is also giving back to disconnected customers who will be eligible to receive 50% off on their reconnection/replacement fee when they pay 50% or more on their outstanding balances.
Additionally, customers who pay less than $15,000 to clear their bill will get a chance to win a fabulous prize from GWI. Five (5) customers from each Regional Office will be randomly selected weekly.
Five lucky Pensioners who will be randomly selected from each of GWI’s Regional Offices will receive a hamper during the period of the promotion.
Persons paying GWI bills at any of the payment agencies or via MMG or ScotiaOnline will be eligible to enter the promotion ONLY if they submit their receipt to the Cashier at any of GWI’s 12 locations countrywide. Only then, the customer will be able to get a legitimate coupon to place in the boxes provided. Boxes will only be located at GWI’s 12 locations countrywide.
According to Managing Director of GWI, Dr. Richard Van West- Charles, some 50,000 customers are currently unable to pay their bill on time, so the promotion gives these persons a chance to pay off for the water services they have received.
He acknowledged the hard work of GWI staff to ensure the collection of revenue and the expression of the customers’commitment to paying their bills. As a result of this, there has thus far been a 23% increase in revenue for 2017 as compared to 2016.
