Don’t panic over NCD water, PNG Power says

The main water reservoir that supplies drinking water and generates electricity to Port Moresby has enough water to provide for the next eight months.

In a media tour of Sirinumu Dam today, PNG Power water management officer Laun Medakou advised city residents that there is "no need for panic."

"It (the dam) can cater for the city for the next eight months for hydro to generate power and water,’’ he said.

The current water catchment level stands at 129 million cubic metres.

The dam capacity water level, when full, is 340 million cubic metres.
