PNG capital Port Moresby at 'unnecessary risk' as landholders put urgent water works on hold

Port Moresby faces a water crisis after landowners blocked repairs to a leaking pipeline. The pipe loses 10 million litres daily, risking the city's supply. Water PNG board chairman Meckles Poya said, "This blockade is creating great uncertainty and throws all preparations for a shutdown into limbo." Negotiations are ongoing.
