PNG Power Limited is advising its valued customers and the public in Port Moresby that they will be undertaking an important maintenance work under the Rouna 1 Rehabilitation Project this weekend. This project is part of the Port Moresby Grid Development Project and work will begin from 12.00 am (midnight) Saturday, August 19, 2023, to 12.00 am (midnight), Monday, August 21, 2023, and will affect the water supply in NCD. However, PPL anticipates that it will not affect the power supply in NCD. This critical work will involve cutting and blanking off the current shared pipeline between PNG Power Ltd and Water PNG after the Rouna 1 and 3 head-ponds. Once the pipeline is cut and separated, Water PNG will have a dedicated pipeline to supply water to its water treatment facility at Mt. Eriama uninterrupted. PPL wants to assure its valued customers that in the future therefore any planned maintenance works by PPL at Rouna 1 and 3 will not affect the water supply to Water PNG and Port Moresby city residents. PPL is now working closely with Water PNG to ensure this planned work is undertaken and completed on time. PPL also advises city residents to store enough water for use during the work as Water PNG will have a limited supply from their intakes at Rouna 4 and Bomana. PPL want to sincerely apologise to the Port Moresby city residents for any inconvenience that they may cause because of this upgrade works, they will undertake at Rouna 1.
