Sections of the city which were flooded as a result of the intense rainfall on Wednesday morning saw much lower water levels yesterday.
According to City Engineer, Colvern Venture, the receded floodwaters especially in areas such as Albouystown can be credited to the increased pumping capacity at the Sussex Street sluice. He told Stabroek News that on Wednesday night, the city with help from the Ministry of Agriculture increased the pumping capacity at the Sussex Street sluice by having a bigger pump installed there.
When asked if all the pumps were in operation, Venture added that he had not received any reports of any of the pumps having problems and that they were all up and running.
