Communities at Burns Peak in Port Moresby will now have excess to fresh water supply.

 

Eda Ranu, in partnership with NCDC and North-West MP Michael Malabag, are funding this project.

The Burns Peak community has not had piped water for over the past 25 years. It will now enjoy constant water supply at a cost of K900, 000.

 

Chairman of Burns Peak Water Committee Ben Babire said for the past 2 years he has been fighting for water services for the community.

 

“We have heard on the Radio, seen on TV and read in papers about other areas getting water supply…and now it happened in Burns Peaks after a very long wait,” said Babire.

 

Electorate Member Michael Malabag said the dialogue between his office, Eda Ranu and NCD was significant for the delivery of such a service.

 

Chief Executive Officer of Eda Ranu Henry Mokono said Eda Ranu is delighted to carry out this water project to the residents of Burns Peak.

 

Chairlady of Eda Ranu Mary Karo advised the community to take ownership of the project and stop illegal connections.

 

MP Malabag and NCD Governor Parkop presented K500, 000 to Eda Ranu to support the project.

 

Governor Parkop was privileged to do the ground breaking. Work will commence in the next 2 weeks.
