As they continue to navigate the challenges of the floods which started back in May, families along the Mahaica, Mahaicony and Abary Rivers yesterday said they are in need of potable water.

Householders yesterday explained to Stabroek News that their access to clean water is limited as they are dependent on rainfall and water distributed to the communities.

Since the flooding, the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) and the Region Five Council have been partnering to supply water to affected households. However, families said the distribution teams are not coming often enough.
