Transmigrants need clean water

JAYAPURA, Irian Jaya: Transmigrants at residential units V and
VIII in Timika, Irian Jaya, are in need of clean water because of
the poor quality of the wells in the area.

"The water in the wells provided cannot be used for drinking
or cooking because it is grimy," said Wahid, a transmigrant from
Subang, West Java, Antara reported.

He added that residents are calling on local authorities to
provide filter drums to help purify the water. (mds)
