The National Court of Justice in Papua New Guinea has issued orders allowing Water PNG Limited to begin crucial repairs on the Rouna 1/3 raw water pipeline. This pipeline is critical, supplying approximately half of Port Moresby’s raw water. Chairman Meckles Poya expressed relief at the court's decision, which clears the path for the essential maintenance. A partial shutdown of the water supply is scheduled for August 14th to facilitate the repairs. The specifics of the shutdown and potential impact on residents are yet to be detailed. Water PNG stated the repairs are vital to ensure the long-term reliability of the water supply to the capital city. Further information was restricted behind a paywall.
