Water Levels Fall in the West

And in our last bit of flood news for tonight, water levels in the west have fallen significantly. In San Ignacio for the first time in two weeks, the water level is only about a foot above the temporary bridge in San Ignacio. Similarly the water level near the Iguana Creek Bridge is falling rapidly though the low level bridge remains covered.

The Mopan River near Benque Viejo Town is falling slowly.

60 BDF soldiers have been dispatched to Calla Creek for clean up and villagers who have been at the IT-VET shelter in San Ignacio for almost a week are expected to return to their village this weekend.
