Flooding averted in Queenstown after culverts cleared
Government said that it avoided serious flooding after the Ministry of Public Infrastructure and City Hall took action to clear two culverts in Queenstown, Georgetown area yesterday morning.
Work being done to clear one of the Queenstown culverts yesterday.
Community Coordinator, Neilson McKenzie, said that the two culverts, which drained the areas surrounding the Demerara Cricket Club Ground and Herdmanston Lodge, were found to be blocked with debris, including discarded builder’s waste.
With assistance from City Hall, the culverts were cleared and water receded quickly into the Lamaha Street Canal, McKenzie explained.
“The work is part of the Ministry of Public Infrastructure’s mandate to respond quickly to ensure that communities are adequately drained, particularly in light of the prevailing inclement weather conditions.”
