Residents of West Berbice were yesterday relieved that stagnant floodwater had started to recede after government deployed more pumps in the affected villages but said they were still being inconvenienced.
Terisa Rodney of Golden Grove told Stabroek News yesterday that the water was still at the front and the back of her yard.
She has to “fetch my three children, [ages nine, seven and five] in and out of the yard one by one on back morning and afternoon, to send to school. And I have to put on their clothes on the road. They get ground sore from the dirty water.”
