Water issues

40 tanks were delivered to the communities by the DDA in the spirit of directly supporting the communities and helping alleviate water woes.

Local Member Keith Iduhu shared that water has been, and will continue to be at the forefront of Hiri-Koiari’s development priorities.

“As the year comes to an end, HK DDA will continue our efforts to ensure that such vital initiatives continue for all levels of our district across the board.

“I thank the local leaders who supported our event and look forward to progressing this initiative in the future”, said Member Iduhu.

While they welcomed road development into their community by their electoral member, John Kaupa, they are calling on the member to help them in terms of the lack of these vital resources.

The community of the ATS block have raised the concern that they have low to no water pressure.

Community policing member, Jessie Lenny, says they have been faced with the challenge of having to wake up in the early hours of the morning to fetch water.

While at times they have no water pressure at all.
