The Mayor and City Council, along with its engineering team and the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority [NDIA] are working to replace the bottom half of the Cowan Street sluice door which broke during last Friday night’s high tide.
The joint team is working to replace the current wooden door with a steel plate.
Alfred Mentore, Deputy Mayor of Georgetown, told Stabroek News yesterday that there was no flooding in the city when the door suffered the damage as other pumps and sluices in the city were in continuous operation.
