Residents of Pork Kaituma, in the North West District, Region One, are reporting the pollution of the nearby Kaituma Creek, which is sole source of drinking water in the community.
Residents say that several dredge owners are operating land dredges more than four miles from Central Port Kaituma along the creek and some two months ago they noticed that their water was discoloured. Water from the well in the area is sourced from the creek and is filtered before being released into the pipes.
