Daru Island black bucket

25,000 residents still use buckets to remove waste

Daru is the provincial capital of the least developed but resource rich Western Province.

South Fly MP Aide Ganasi, in a series of questions in Parliament today, asked State Enterprise Minister William Duma if Water PNG had plans to build a sewerage system for Daru Island.

He added that PNG Sustainable Development Program (PNGSDP) committed millions of Kina to help fund the construction of sewerage and water system but it now stands idle after they pulled out there years ago.
