Four Essequibo communities were flooded yesterday due to heavy rainfall, which was compounded by a critical sluice being down for repairs.
Swetlana Kingston, of Lima Village, in Region Two, woke up to at least three inches of water in her House.
According to Kingston, who is the owner of a bakery, Aunty Otia’s Creations, the entire lower flat was inundated with water while she had seven cakes and an assortment of pastries to bake.
