TETE SETTLEMENT K850,000 BORE WATER PROJECT COMMISSIONED

THE residents and communities of Tete Settlement in the Gerehu Suburb of Moresby North West welcomed the commissioning of their Bore Water project in Tete settlement Block 5 yesterday.

Local Moresby Northwest MP Lohia Boe Samuel officiated the Commissioning alongside the City Manager Ravu Frank and representative from the NCDC Governor’s Office.

The water project was the first phase of a string of project- costing K850, 000 funded by the office of  the MP Lohia Boe Samuel in collaboration with the office of the NCD Governor Powes Parkop.

City Manager Ravu Frank commended MP Samuel for listening to the people’s call for water and for being the first Electorate in NCD to establish water project for the people especially at this time when the country is experiencing the impacts of of El Nino.

Community Leader and representative Elvis, who first initiated the idea for a water project, thanked MP Samuel for bringing water to his people and for supporting the project and also thanked the office of Governor and City Manager Ravu Frank  and the contractor for completing the project as planned.

Mr Elvis said Tete Block 5 has never had water supply connection or any source of water for the people to use over the years, and for the last 15 years of his life in Tete, such infrastructure will greatly assist the communities, mothers and children who struggle every day to find water.

MP Lohia Boe Samuel assured the people of more similar projects to be established in the second phase for Tete Block 3 and 4 and other settlements in the Moresby North West Electorate.

The Tete Block 5 Bore Water project includes water tanks, water taps and solar lights.
