Well, it was one of those many occasions that I dread. Yes, Eda Ranu, the state-owned company that is responsible for the provision of water to the city has AGAIN closed the main taps feeding the city and once again we have no water to cook, shower and use the restroom. This time they advertised in the papers but it was a very small advert that many people can easily miss when reading the papers. In the advert it says that they will be shutting the valve at 8.00am and open the valve at 6pm. Well, guess what, they shut the thing down at 6am instead of 8 and water returned to the households at 11pm in the night.
The usual frustrations were that I didn't have a proper shower in the morning and in the night. Damn it! Now it makes me angrier everytime even at times I wish I could take that company to court for the distress they cause to the public. Have they ever thought of having reservoir tanks that would supply the city in the event of a major maintenance or pipe leakage? I wonder when PNG would start operating as a country!
