We read in the media of water being stolen according to the water authority Eda Ranu. There are illegal connections to the squatter settlements with millions of litres on water pouring down drains to the channels across the city.
What does the water authority expect? There are so many settlements without proper water arrangements that people have to make illegal connections.

Settlements are being rapidly filled with families of professional workers who are forced out of accomodation by high rents. Now they live in single room bush huts at extortionate rents.
People need water. Who cares if the connections are illegal if that is the only water available for families to wash clothes, bathe, cook and drink?
The water to Port Moresby is God given. It comes from the clouds and falls on the mountains before flowing to the coast in rivers. It does not have to be manufactured only purified.
The Government should provide funding to Eda Ranu to cover water lost. Millions of litres flow from the squatter settlements ever day down the drains and into the channels.
