Two houses on Duncan Street were flooded yesterday after ongoing construction works on Sheriff Street led to the rupture of a Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) water main.
In addition to the flooding of the two houses, the ruptured main also resulted in a halt to the vehicular traffic traversing Duncan Street.
During a live update on the Ministry’s Facebook page, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill stated that GWI and the sub-contractor who caused the rupture worked together and the issue was resolved within the hour.
