Residents in one South Central St. Catherine community are deeply concerned as it relates to flooding. This concern has even been more worrying amid the 2023 Atlantic Hurricane season.
It was an uphill battle for the residents of the Hill Run Community in South Central St. Catherine dealing with flood waters following rains in recent weeks. The residents say this drain has always been a problem when it overflows, resulting in major flooding that restricts their movement.
