EU TO FUND K39M WAU WATER SUPPLY PROJECT: MP NAREWEC

By BRADLEY MARIORI

WAU Waria MP Marsh Narawec has announced to the people of his district that work on Wau town water supply will start after K39 million from the European Union is secured for the project.

MP Narewec said, the project will be delayed till end of 2026 as the money from the project is not from the government but from overseas donors, the European union and they have to go through processes.

He said the funding was secured under the European Union with support from Water PNG, as well as the National Government through the Department of National Planning and Monitoring and Wau Waria DDA.

Narewec said over the years when Wau Waria was still under Bulolo district, this project was given a nod but all attempts to get this project off the ground were unsuccessful.

Currently, citizens in Wau town still lack access to clean water supply with many depending on water tanks and other systems of providing water for their needs.

Narawec told the people of Wau town that, once the project kicks off, they have to take ownership of the project and assist in ways possible to ensure smooth completion of the project.
