The National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) says it has received information that someone has tampered with the sea koker at Endeavour, Leguan, Essequibo Island.
As a result, approximately 15 residents of the community are experiencing flooding due to the high tide, it said in a statement.
NDIA said it is closely monitoring the situation, and the floodwaters are expected to recede during the next low tide at 11:56 pm tonight. The NDIA will investigate this illegal act and report it to the police, the agency said.
