Declogging
operations continued Monday in front of Boracay Hospital that was hit by
flashflood following the sudden heavy downpour in the island.
To
lessen the flood problems in Boracay, the LGU Malay in cooperation with Boracay
Island Water Company (BIWC) and Boracay Solid Waste Action Team (BSWAT) is now
targeting the cleaning of drainage system particularly manholes.
It
was recalled that the flooding that was experienced in some parts of Boracay
was due to the clogging of the drainage system, wherein BRTF and LGU Malay also
discovered that there are some illegal connections to the drainage, the reason
why they also conducted a consultative meeting.
Meanwhile,
BRTF is still waiting for the pumping station of Tourism Infrastructure and
Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) being one of the mitigating measures and
temporary solution to the flooding problem in Boracay.
