EDA Ranu CEO Henry Mokono announced yesterday, at the ATS water project contract signing yesterday, that the rationing exercise that was carried out recently in Port Moresby was now over.
This was in response to the positive signs shown in the Sirinumu dam’s level and the weather itself.
“Earlier problem regarding the low level of water at the dam has passed, with the current level sufficient to cater for all our customers,” he said.
He said that the level was also acceptable, according to PNG Power for full generation of electricity for the city’s grid.
Optimism that would only mean that mother nature would be good to the city’s only source of water and power generation sourse- with rains set to fall in the coming months.
“According to the National Weather Service, everything looks okay, with the rains predicted to come around the months of October and November- so what we have now is more than enough for us.”
The news will be a relief for citizen who had to go without water for half to even more than a day at a time to enable water to reach all parts of the city.
Mr Mokono added that the only water cuts faced from now onwards would be only related to maintenance work carried on the water system by technicians.
