| …1st half of year 40% higher than 2007Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) has reported a significant improvement in revenue for the first half of 2008, compared to 2007. This upward trend is expected to continue, explained Karan Singh,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).He said that it was his belief that the efforts GWI had made in sensitizing the public that water has an economic value and that everyone has a contribution to make have proved fruitful. The collections made for the first half of the year represent a 40 per cent increase over the corresponding period last year.Despite this, Singh said that there were still substantial arrears outstanding for GWI, and that the major debtors were members of the public.Commenting on the company’s database,Jerseys From China, which has been undergoing improvements, modifications and modernization for some time, the CEO explained that in the past efforts to improve the database were largely unsuccessful. This time around, Singh estimates that by the end of September 2008, the first stage of updating the database would have been completed. This process involves documentation of the database information, and the initial phase of the verification of this information.A significant point,China Jerseys Authentic, Singh noted, was that the information on the database was being digitized. With this in mind, GWI would be able to identify where consumers were misusing the water. Singh explained that if a property was registered to a domestic user, and the amount of water being consumed was to the level of a business, the database would be able to identify this.The constant process of updating the database will uncover discrepancies and will impact the revenue of GWI,Bradley Chubb Jersey, Mr Singh said.Errors in the existing database have led to errors in what passes for arrears to the water company, said Singh. He explained that at present, the names of some customers appear more than once on the database.This duplication of names results in the duplication of the amounts which are due. Due to this, the stated arrears due to GWI are inaccurate. However, Singh made it clear that even if the GWI records show a 20 per cent inaccuracy, there are still substantial sums of money owed to GWI. To stem the trend of owing GWI, Singh said that over the next few weeks, hundreds of lawyer’s letters will be sent to members of the public who owe GWI revenue $500,000 and more. They will be given the opportunity to settle their debts or face the courts, explained the GWI CEO.On top of this, the names of such customers will be publicized in the media. The embarrassment, it is hoped,China NFL Jerseys, will provide enough motivation for these customers to settle their debts,cheap jerseys, highlighted Singh. “If this is the alternative then we will have to take it.” He added,Cheap NFL Jerseys Online, “There are people who completely disrespect us.”Singh also explained that there will be consequences for persons who tamper and remove the water meters installed in their yards.He explained that if a meter was installed in someone’s yard and it has been removed, then the person will be slapped with a $25,000 fine for tampering with the meter. They will also be asked to pay an extra $8 000 to have the meter replaced.“It is important that people understand that we are running this company as a business,” Singh said. |
