Residential areas such as Albouystown, West, East, North and South Ruimveldts, Bel Air Park, Wortmanville and downtown Georgetown were inundated but the waters are receding in most parts.
Engineers and pump attendants were quoted as saying that there were minor obstacles to overcome but all flood control facilities are in place and operating at full capacity.
Rainfall in Georgetown has measured a total of 3.5 inches from 08:00 hrs to 14:00 hrs.
The Hydrometeorological Service forecasts frequent rainfall along the coastland over the next 12 hours and as such, all relevant agencies are on standby to respond to any impacts or hindrances.
Residents countrywide are advised to remain observant and take all necessary precautions during this time.
All impacts should be reported to local authorities or the National Emergency Monitoring System (NEMS) on 600-7500 at any time.
