While most of Guyana was ringing in Christmas Day in celebration, residents of Endeavour, Leguan were faced with the damage caused by floodwaters and the prospect of more due to repairs to a sluice door being left incomplete.
Up until minutes after six last evening, the gravity flow system was being used to drain the area of floodwater since there were no irrigation pumps available.
A team of Public Infrastructure workers were working to complete the work left by the contractor before the next high tide, which was scheduled for 3.46 am this morning.
