Koker door failure due to high tides, not negligence

Lloyd Alleyne

Acting City Engineer Lloyd Alleyne says that the Cummings Canal koker door failed last week Tuesday because of extremely high tides and not through the negligence of the koker attendant.

“If that door was not properly closed, we would have had evidence of waters coming onto the land before 4:30pm,” Alleyne told a news conference yesterday.
He also said that there was adequate information given by the various responsible agencies,
