Floodwaters had receded significantly in several parts of Bartica yesterday morning after prolonged heavy rainfall on Saturday.
Regional Chairman Kenneth Williams told Stabroek News yesterday that the water had receded significantly. Residents suffered serious water damage in their homes and many threw out electrical appliances yesterday. Residents were fearful yesterday afternoon as the rain continued. However, Williams stated that the pump was operational.
“The water is off the land. Residents… are currently assessing the damage. It is raining again and we are hoping that it doesn’t lead to flooding,” he added.
