It has been just over a month since residents of the Abary, Mahaicony and Mahaica rivers in Region Five and Kwakwani, Aroaima, Lamp Island and others in Region Ten, have been inundated.

Councillor of Region Ten, Elroy Adolph yesterday informed that water levels have receded by approximately eight inches.
