According to Daru Town Mayor, Samuel Wingu, more than 50 percent of people in Daru, are facing water problems.
He said only 38 percent of the population on the island are connected to Water PNG while the other 62 percent collect water from through rain water or bore water.
Like many other basic service lacking, water is one of the main source of life, which is difficult to fetch in Daru.
Men, women and children carry empty containers each day, waking from one end of the town to another in search of water.
