Update: Graeme Hall Swamp Water Levels Elevated - MTW Opens Sluice Gate to Reduce Levels
November 12, 2024
Graeme Hall Swamp water levels rise due to inclement weather. Drainage Division opens sluice gate to reduce levels. Discoloration at Worthing beach attributed to leaves, mud, and debris, not sewage.
Due to the inclement weather over the last few days on the island, the water levels at the Graeme Hall Swamp in Christ Church are currently elevated.
As a result, the Drainage Division of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) has opened the sluice gate to reduce these levels. The gate will remain open until approximately 8 a.m. on Wednesday, November 13, 2024.
Although the beach at Worthing has not been closed, the Drainage Division is assuring the public that the discolouration seen is as a result of leaves, mud and debris and not as a result of sewage.
MTW apologises for any inconvenience and thank the public for its patience .(PR/MTW)
