Rain, high tides cause flooding at Bartica

Jun 08, 2012 News

Incessant  showers  early  yesterday morning , coupled  with  the high tide resulted  in  the  areas  along  First  and Second Avenues  between Fifth Street and  Sixth  Street  becoming flooded.
Bartica is a hilly community and with Fifth and Sixth Streets being at the lower levels of the community and close to the Essequibo River. The water rose about six  inches above the river bank. Also flooded was an  area that is located on the  Byderabo  Front-Road,  next  to  the  Byderabo Creek.
The areas  on  First  Avenue  where  most  businesses  are  located, got  immediate relief  as  the new interim management committee (IMC) councillors and public-spirited citizens took  to  the  task  of  immediately  opening  up  the koker  at  First  Avenue and  Fifth Streets.
The newly installed  IMC  for  the  Bartica NDC said that the  clogged-up  drains and poor  management  and  upkeep of  the  koker  are  responsible  for  this  periodic  flooding  around  these  areas .
