FLOOD UPDATE; Two city pumps down

The Ministry of Public Infrastructure is reporting that the Lamaha Street and River View pumps are down.

This was discovered by a team, which had been dispatched to conduct on-the-ground assessments earlier on Friday and that information was provided following what was reported earlier.

Minister David Patterson has just met with City Engineer of Georgetown, Mr. Colvern Venture to determine what action can be taken.

The Ministry of Public Infrastructure says it will dispatch further updates on the handling of this situation even as the Government continues efforts to minimise the adverse effects of the flooding.
