Landowners threaten to turn off Honiara's water supply | Pacific Beat

It's not a hollow threat as the landowners turned the water to Honiara off for two weeks last December after the government fell behind in its schedule of payments.

The land trustees of Kongulai on Guadalcanal claim the government still owes them $6 Solomon Islands dollars.

Damaso Roko one of the elders of the Tanadai Haubata Tribe overseeing the payments says if the government pays them $4.9 million by Wednesday then the crisis can be averted.
