A temporary sluice door has been installed at Grove and Diamond, East Bank Demerara to prevent more flooding from occurring during the current spring tide.
Planks for the temporary sluice door were driven into the back and front of the koker with the expectation of keeping residents secure from other high tides.
A completely new door is expected to be in place within a matter of days as regional authorities are currently accelerating the procurement process as the situation has been designated an emergency.
