Last resort: Villagers affected by the supply shortage scooping muddy water from a newly dug well.
Piped water supply is available in the area but villagers are unable to pay the required deposit and connection costs. Villager Leberi Francis Maraim highlighted the villagers’ plight in a Facebook posting, saying there had been no rain in many parts of Matunggong for the past three months. Leberi, the Matunggong PBS deputy division chief, said rivers had run dry, forcing villagers to dig wells in the riverbeds. He said some also resorted to using muddy water from fish ponds for their daily needs.
