Although fair weather has prevailed since persistent rainfall ended on Monday, parts of Buxton yesterday remained under several inches of water and it may take two more days to be drained.
Yesterday, Agriculture Minister Robert Persaud directed that two additional pumps be installed at the Buxton pump basin to help with the drainage, according to a statement last evening from the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA).
