The existing water supply in Vuiyakana Village cannot meet the demands of its 100 residents while the 76 residents of Kavika Settlement rely on a shallow well for water.
Operations Manager Ravikash Reddy says a borehole will be dug for the two settlements and preliminary assessments have been made.
