A prolonged drainage situation in the city which appears to have infiltrated the sewerage system was yesterday gaining the collaborative attention of technical officials within the Mayor and City Council of Georgetown (M&CC) and Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI).The drainage challenge, which results in an unsightly flooding situation compounded by a reeking scent at the junction of Avenue of the Republic and Regent Street, in Georgetown, has served to discourage many citizens who are forced to traverse the pavement in that vicinity. “This thing going on for far too long…The place just smell stink around here and somebody needs to do something about this situation,” a clearly frustrated male commuter told Kaieteur News yesterday.Persons navigating the flooded thoroughfare at the junction of Avenue of the Republic and Regent Street, Georgetown, yesterday.Speaking to this publication yesterday, too, M&CC’s Public Relations Officer, Royston King, said that based on investigations by drainage workers attached to the municipality, the state of affairs is one that stems from severe clogging of the city’s drainage system.“What they have noticed in their work in the fields is that many residents in the city have connected their outflow pipes directly to service drains,” King said. He went on to explain that although this should not be the case, it is rather prevalent in the commercial section of the city, thereby resulting in the overflow dilemma that is often seen in some sections of the city, even when it doesn’t rain.According to King, the municipality was made aware of the “flooding” situation a few days ago. He disclosed that during a tour around the city earlier this week, Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase- Greene, who is currently acting in the capacity of Mayor, was able to observe the aforementioned site, and recommended that the relevant officers take urgent action to return the area to normalcy.“We are concerned about this situation…aside from the potential environmental problem it poses, it can also create a situation of enormous challenge for public health,” an evidently worried King underscored yesterday.According to him, the work of the municipality is often hampered by the operations of some restaurants and food shops in the city that operate with inadequate or non-existence grease traps. This, he explained,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, often results in grease slipping into the sewerage system, resulting in clogging and back-flow. Added to this, King disclosed that efforts directed towards addressing the drainage system are daunted by the wanton disposal of condoms and other materials such as styrofoam and plastics, from city hotels.King noted that aside from working towards remedying the prevailing situation, the relevant municipal officials will also be looking to serve notice to business owners whose operations are found to be contributing.Also speaking on the issue yesterday was Public Relations Officer at GWI, Timothy Austin, who confirmed that the water company is working closely with the city’s technical officials to help address the flooding situation. And the collaboration will be an ongoing one, Austin said, although the origin of the problem is not one that falls under the purview of GWI.According to Austin, GWI’s Sanitation Manager, Rensford Joseph, was at the “flooded” site yesterday and observed that the underground drainage system was blocked, primarily due to builder’s waste. As part of its support to the ongoing effort, GWI provided needful equipment to help unclog the drainage system. But according to Austin, works in that regard “were not making much progress” yesterday.“Our Sanitation Manager was able to see (following inspection) that the drainage system is poorly maintained…it should have been cleared a while now…there were pieces of wood, concrete and all sorts of materials that shouldn’t be there,” Austin said.When this publication arrived on the “flooded” scene yesterday, passersby could be seen navigating their way across a strategically placed wooden walk-way to avoid contact with the miasmic overflow.
