…proprietor estimates losses at millions of dollars
Established businessman, Alfro Alphonso, proprietor of Pomeroon Oil Mill Complex at Charity as well as neighbouring businesses and homes have been the latest victims of a recent outburst of flooding in Region Two.
According to information due to prevailing high tide effect, the entire oil complex is inundated with water posing severe threat to one of the complex’s main engines.
In an invited comment, Manager of the Oil Complex said that water which overflowed from the Pomeroon River Monday morning about 7:00 o’clock invade the Oil Mill due to the dam aback of the premises.
“For years we have been suffering from flooding due to the dam not being repaired.”
Alphonso, who said that he has lost millions of dollars, stressed that the water has also destroyed both copra and copra seed. The businessman’s vehicles were also under water. At present the businessman is using a pump to alleviate the problem but the pump is ineffective.
Alphonso is again making an impassioned appeal to the Region Two administration who he said had failed to address the issue of flooding in Charity.
It was also reported that residents in Pomeroon have been under water for some time now. The spring tide which is in effect is expected to rise even higher later this evening.
