Districts still need water

PACITAN, East Java: Rain might have arrived in many parts of
the country, but six districts in Pacitan are still suffering
from a water shortage resulting from the long dry season.

Antara quoted the regency's spokesman Marsih as saying Tuesday
that the local administration had distributed clean water to
villagers in Donorejo, Tulakan, Sudimoro, Bandar, Pringkulu and
Punung districts.

The residents, however, complained because they have to pay a
high price for the distributed water. For instance, they have to
pay between Rp 25,000 (US$7) and Rp 35,000 per tank. A tank
contains 4,000 liters. (09)
