Residents of Waterloo and Quamina streets in South Cummingsburg, Georgetown are grappling with severe waterlogging, which has become a persistent issue on the roadway outside their homes.
Three residents, who requested anonymity, described their daily struggles. One resident related that during the rainy season, he and his family are forced to manually clean the drains on the parapet to alleviate flooding. He noted that this has been a longstanding issue, and the waterlogged street has now become breeding grounds for mosquitoes. “We have to take matters into our own hands to prevent the flooding from getting worse,” he said, adding, “It’s not just inconvenient; it’s a health hazard.”
