Another hinterland village will see an end to its water woes with the installation of a new $56 million water distribution system.

A Department of Public Information release yesterday said that Quebanang Village, situated in Upper Mazaruni, Region Seven, is the latest beneficiary of a new potable water system valued at some $56.3 million.

It was explained that Quebanang, a satellite village of Jawalla, currently relies on a spring source and a small photo-voltaic and distribution pipe network to supply water to a portion of the community. However, the release pointed out that this existing system is inadequate to meet the water demands of the entire area.
