In a bid to minimize inundation from heavy rain, the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) has so far spent over $120 million on ensuring that drains and canals are properly cleaned, Town Clerk Royston King said yesterday.
Speaking at a press conference, King said, the expenditure started at the beginning of the rainy season. “We have our own men and contractors working to ensure that we have a good flow of storm water,” he said. Several areas of the city were flooded yesterday, during heavy downpours that started around 2.30 pm. However, by the next four hours much of the water, in central Georgetown at least, had receded.
