Papua New Guinea’s opposition party is warning of a potential water crisis in Port Moresby, citing years of infrastructure neglect and poor governance. They claim over one million residents could experience water service disruptions. However, Water PNG, the state-owned water utility, has refuted claims of an impending complete shutdown of the city’s water supply next week. The opposition alleges that inadequate maintenance of key water infrastructure is to blame for the current issues. This dispute highlights growing concerns about the reliability of essential services in the capital. The situation remains tense as both sides present conflicting assessments of the water supply outlook. Further details are behind a paywall on the Post Courier website.
