And another drainage project just across the highway was declared open this weekend. The million dollar Buttonwood Bay Drainage project saw the replacement of 6,000 linear feet of earth drains with new ferro- concrete lined drains, covered sidewalks, installation of reinforced concrete box culverts, as well as removal and replacement of walkways in the area. The project was undertaken by SIF and this Saturday, the Director said it will meaningfully improve drainage in the community:..
William Lamb, Executive Director - SIF
"This drainage project will address both health and environmental issues in this area, preventing long lasting flood and reducing stagnant water from around the area. For most of Belize, including this area, is considered to be under sea level, so this project was done mainly to address the surface water to run off into these secondary drains and then into the main drains out to the sea."
And while SIF put in the drains, the City Council paved the streets.
