Mayor of Georgetown, Hamilton Green, said today that there had been 5.5 inches of rainfall over a 24-hour period and this is unusual under any circumstances.

“I received several calls from persons indicating that there has been an accumulation of water in certain parts of the city. As a result, I visited the city, all the pumps, today, with the engineer and discovered that some of the pumps are working and three are not functional,” he
