A Department of Public Information (DPI) release last week stated that some 2,000 residents from Kumaka, Santa Rosa Islands, and other satellite areas in the Moruca sub-district in Region One will soon benefit from a continuous supply of potable water, as works are advancing on the new $10 million well.
An additional $10 million will be invested in other works such as the installation of the pump system and electricity network.
During an inspection of the well site on Saturday morning, Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal, said that the prolonged dry weather has resulted in the depletion of water in the creek. As such, the expansion of the water system will provide increased access to quality water.
