Water woes for more than 30 people at Dawana Estate and neighbouring communities in Cakaudrove will now be a thing of the past, upon the commissioning of their new underground water source today (01.08.23).
Resident Ambika Nand said for decades they had been relying on a spring as their main water source and over the years it could not accommodate for everyone especially for the livestock that they keep.
“We then started utilising rain water as a substitute water source, but it is not reliable, and today we are fortunate to have received assistance from Government through this borehole project,” Mr Nand said.
The Assistant Minister for Agriculture and Waterways Hon. Tomasi Tunabuna applauded the farmers for their contribution towards the economy through their yield and ensured Government’s support towards their ventures.
Assistant Minister Tunabuna will be visiting Taveuni Island tomorrow as a part of his Northern Tour.
