12 villages need clean water

DENPASAR, Bali (JP): Twelve out of 111 villages in Tabanan,
Bali, still have difficulties getting clean water, mostly due to
shortages, Tabanan regent I Komang Wijana has said.

The regent said on Friday that villagers in six out of the
twelve villages have to cross a ravine and walk a long distance
to reach a water source.

Wijana said the regency administration will overcome the
problem by building clean water facilities.

"The construction of the facilities is expected to meet the
demand for water in villages but also in big cities." he said as
quoted by the Antara news agency.

Meanwhile Governor Ida Bagus Oka said the Bali provincial
administration will provide Rp 190.49 million (US$86,665) in
funds to construct three clean water projects in five out of the
six villages.(imn)
