Sheer negligence has resulted in the damage of water pipes worth K12 million, says Daru Island Town Mayor, Samuel Wingu.
Wingu states the Island receives water from the mainland through pipes connected beneath the sea.
However, after years of exposure to climate change and the oceanic’s acidic levels, the pipes are damaged beyond repair.
Wingu further explained there were plans to repair the Island’s water supply system by the PNG Sustainable Development Program Limited however, these K12 million pipes went up in flames.
