Honiara and Auki t$150 million Worth Water Supply Improvement Project Was Handed Over to Solomon Water
Japanese ambassador to Solomon Islands Kenichi Kimiya said the completion of the project was a "marvellous achievement".
Mr Kimiya appealed to Solomon Water, the government, and people to maintain the facilities in a proper way.
The project provided:
- Four borefields: Tasahe, Titinge, Skyline and Borderline - each fed by 4 boreholes.
- Four high lift pumping stations
- Six treated water storage reservoirs (at Tasahe, Titinge, Skyline, Borderline, Panatina and West Kola'a)
- A turbidity removal plant at Kombito
- 32km of transmission pipeline of various diameters.
- Three boreholes in Auki.
Mr Kimiya thanked all those who were involved in the project for their contributions, which he said resulted in its successful completion.
The new sources provided by this project have been operating since February in both Honiara and Auki.
However, Solomon Water has had to stop and start operation to do technical adjustments and some remedial works since then.
