Major water projects for Yangoru-Saussia

These projects are water supply systems for Yangoru Mobile Barracks, Kusambuk High School and Wingei Secondary School.

Water Disruptions

The press conference was held to dissolve the many speculations aired by disgruntled residents on social media over the weekend regarding the water disruption.

Acting CEO Parkop Kurua addressed the media saying that there were issues experienced with Clarifier 2 resulting in the shutting off of water on Saturday to carry out further investigations. This is due to the neglect and poor remedial work required of the last users and facilitators.

Water and Sanitation Bill rejected

The Bill just fell short by one vote of the required majority vote of 56, with seven members voting against it.

After passing the Tobacco Control Bill of 2016, it looked like the Water Sanitation Bill would follow suite however, the Bill did not muster the required number.

This followed a speech by Opposition Member Kerenga Kua, who labeled the Bill as another instrument that will only raise taxes and costs even more for ordinary citizens.
