And until the system is up and running the City council is still faced with having to address the same drainage issue over and over, particularly, for example on Vernon Street. According to the mayor they are waiting on The rains to stop until they can begin to find another solution to the problem.
Bernard Wagner, Mayor of Belize City
"This is an ongoing situation not only in Belize City, but across all the municipalities where we have excessive rainfall that that has been driven significantly by climate change. And we continue to do our best in terms of drain maintenance. But the sort of rains that we are receiving now due to climate changes is an excessive amount of rains in a short period of time."
"And that is what leads to this type of flooding. But if you notice most of the time as the rain stops give it a few hours and it would really run off."
