Walking for about a kilometre to fetch water from a creek is now a thing of the past for the villagers of Navukebuli in Macuata after the completion of their Groundwater Reticulation Project.

Minister for Lands and Mineral Resources Jone Usamate visited the project site and says the project is completed and is on a trial period of two weeks to allow the team to monitor any defects in the piping and solar panel system for this project.

He says this project has cost the government approximately $50,000 which will benefit 10 families consisting of 48 people.

The villagers also thanked the Minister and the government for the initiative as they are now benefiting from safe and clean drinking water.
