Mobile pumps for the city by year-end

Jun 21, 2018 News

Georgetown will have three mobile pumps by December, just in time for the next rainy season.
In a recent interview with the Department of Public Information, Chief Executive Officer of the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA), Frederick Flatts said the pumps are among a larger package being funded under an Indian government line of credit.
“The whole package is US$4M. That’s for the pumps. The mobile pumps will be used in Georgetown to help relieve flooding.”
Further, Flatts said that the acquisition of the pumps is awaiting the go-ahead from the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board, in keeping with the procurement legislation
“As soon as we have that approval we will go ahead and hire a supplier for the pumps.”
Since coming to office in May 2015, the current administration has implemented several major projects to clear and desilt drainage canals in and around Georgetown.
