THE Ministry of Public Works rendered assistance to the Mayor and City Council on Saturday with pumps to drain off water in inundated wards in Georgetown. 

A large pump was used at the Sussex Street canal sluice which alleviated the woes Albouystown residents suffer whenever it rains heavily. The pump discharged 40,000 gallons per minute.
Additionally, a smaller pump was in operation at the Le Repentir Cemetery to drain the excess water into the Sussex Street canal.
