Water from the recent spring tides that flooded yards and farmlands in the villages of Harmony Hall, Rebecca’s Rust and surrounding areas have begun to recede and residents are calling on the Ministry of Public Health to conduct a medical outreach in the affected communities to treat persons who may have contracted any diseases.

Residents made the call yesterday when Stabroek News returned to the communities to check on the situation.

During the visit, it was observed that from most yards that were flooded, the water have receded and water has been slowly receding from other low-lying areas.
