Kaieteur News – The Government of Guyana is expected to spend more than $32 million for the construction of three outfalls at Eversham, Joppa and Adventure, all located at Corentyne Berbice.
Outfalls, similar to this one that was rehabilitated at Sussex Street, will be constructed in Berbice to help prevent flooding.
According to a Ministry of Agriculture advertisement which states that the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) is inviting bids from suitably qualified and experienced bidders to undertake the projects. The three outfalls will be constructed for the November/December 2021, rainy season at the following locations, Eversham, Joppa and Adventure, Corentyne, Berbice.
