Tap water pipes clogged

KENDARI, S.E. Sulawesi: Thousands of residents have
experienced over the past week a shortage of clean water because
pipelines have been clogged by unknown people.

Mayor Masie Abunawas confirmed the problem and said he had
ordered the local water company to repair the system.

The company processed water from Anduonuhu River in Poasia
district. The pipe that connected the spring to a water reservoir
had been found to be clogged with rocks.

Abunawas deplored the vandalism, as did residents who had to
use poor quality water from various wells in the area. (swe)
