Close to 12 inches of water swamped households at Stanleytown, West Bank Demerara during yesterday morning’s high tide after the koker attendant failed to show up to close the doors.
Region Three Chairman Ayube Inshan told Stabroek News that approximately 60 households were affected. He said most families suffered damage to appliances and furnishings and were left with a big clean-up task.
He stated that the water level varied in the community based on topography.
