Residents in the vicinity of the controversial Pouderoyen Pump Station project on the West Bank of Demerara are being affected by flooding owing to tubes installed by the contractor to keep excess water out of the construction site.
Stabroek News visited the area on Saturday and noticed that there had been some additional work done on the project. In addition to the tubes, the pathway to the pump station has been paved with stone.
One resident who was spotted by the koker told Stabroek News that he was hoping that the contactor “speeds up the work on the pump station”, as the installed construction tubes have caused floodwaters from the heavy rains to enter his backyard.
