With more rainfall expected over the coming days, the Region Four Regional Democratic Council (RDC) yesterday reported that a large majority of the region’s drainage infrastructure is in operation.
According to a regional drainage report, which was prepared by the Office of the Regional Chairman, flooding in some areas may continue, particularly flood-prone areas. However, it noted that flood and high waters have begun to recede in some of the affected areas in and around the region.
On the East Bank of Demerara, it said, flooding was reported in Block B- Mocha, and St. Cuthbert’s Mission (Goal Hill). It further noted that there are 44 sluices on the East Bank, 40 of which are functional, while the remainder require repairs and maintenance.
