Flood receding rapidly from Kwakwani, residents inspecting damage

After weeks of being inundated, this property is no longer waterlogged.

With floodwater receding significantly from Kwakwani’s waterfront, Region 10 home owners are returning to their properties to conduct their damage assessment, Regional Councillor Elroy Adolph said.

As of yesterday a majority of the streets and homes were free of floodwater, however in low-lying areas water levels remain at least two feet high.

 According to Adolph, water levels on Lamp Island, which has been one of the worst-hit areas, are at 4-7 feet.
