Workmen put marl around well

A day after the DAILY NATION highlighted an unfinished well at Rock Gap, Spooners Hill, St Michael, which had partially collapsed, workmen from the Drainage Unit moved in and spread marl around the area.
Resident Judy Clarke said she felt a little safer, but still wanted the well repaired before the rains set in.
The Drainage Unit constructed the well to prevent flooding in the area but it collapsed two months ago and nothing was done to stabilize it.
Here, Clarke examining the well yesterday after marl was placed around it.
