Is the water good in PNG?
In the main provincial cities it is usually considered to be of good quality BUT a water and sanitation engineer, working with the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program (RWSSP) in PNG, claimed in Nov 2011 that there are four million Papua New Guineans drinking contaminated water. Stuart Jordan said in a recent study carried out in a village in Central province, his team discovered faeces contamination in water that was well over the World Health Organisation standard of 0-10 ppm (part per million).
