Solomon Water issues advisory for customers across country to ration water as droughts worsen from El Nino
BY DOUGLAS VAHIA
Solomon Water has urged customers in Honiara, Auki, Noro and Tulagi to conserve water as drought conditions linked to the current El Niño weather pattern threaten water supplies.
In an advisory yesterday Solomon Water said water levels at its sources in Auki, Noro and Tulagi were deteriorating, raising the risk of water shortages and intermittent supply.
The utility warns that reduced rainfall and prolonged dry weather could place additional pressure on water supply systems, potentially affecting customers in the four urban centres.
Solomon Water Acting Chief Executive Officer Ray Andresen said the company is implementing its El Niño Response Plan to minimise disruptions and maintain essential water services.
He said the utility had increased monitoring of water sources and is conducting routine inspections and maintenance of critical water infrastructure to improve system reliability.
“Should water levels dictate it, we are fully prepared to introduce temporary, scheduled water rationing to manage our shared resources responsibly,” Andresen said.
Andresen said the company is working closely with the Drought Advisory Group and relevant government ministries to respond to the developing situation.
Solomon Water encourages households, businesses and institutions to use water wisely, avoid unnecessary washing and hosing, and store sufficient water for essential needs in clean, covered containers.
Customers have also been urged to report visible water leaks and suspected illegal connections to Solomon Water’s customer service team.
The utility further appeals to the public to protect water supply infrastructure, warning that vandalism and illegal connections could worsen supply disruptions.
Andresen said water conservation is a shared responsibility and calls on the public to take immediate action to reduce pressure on limited water resources.
Solomon Water said it will continue to provide regular updates on water source conditions and advise customers of any necessary conservation measures or scheduled rationing as the drought situation develops.

Australia is helping to strengthen the skills of local contractors and government officers to support the long-term delivery of quality infrastructure across Solomon Islands.
Project management and construction delivery training has been delivered to 33 contractors and officers from the Ministry of Infrastructure Development as part of Australia’s ongoing support to local infrastructure capacity.
The practical workshops focused on managing on-time and on-budget infrastructure delivery, including project planning, daily scheduling, quality management and procurement planning.
Australian High Commissioner Jeff Roach said building government and industry skills is an important part of Australia’s long-term support for better infrastructure in Solomon Islands.
“Good infrastructure needs people who are skilled at reducing costly rework on poorly managed construction projects,” High Commissioner Roach said.
“These workshops are helping contractors and Ministry staff build the skills they need to work together, solve problems early, and use public money cost-effectively.”
Local contractors taking part in a training session in Honiara to learn practical skills in planning and managing construction projects.
Participants worked through real project examples to apply new planning and management techniques to common challenges on infrastructure projects.
Ministry of Infrastructure Development Engineer, Mowisha Angiki, said the training provided the tools and awareness to work with local contractors.
“The training gave us simple tools that we can use straight away in our work. It was also good to hear from contractors and share ideas on how we can work better together and keep projects running smoothly,” Mr Angiki said.
Australia’s Solomon Islands Infrastructure Program has delivered skills development in Solomon Islands’ infrastructure sector to over 500 workers and government officials, leaving a lasting legacy of increased capability to support quality infrastructure development across the country.

A local copra farmer, Elvis is calling for urgent improvements on shipping services, pointing to rising freight costs and irregular schedules as major hurdles for agricultural producers in West Are’are, Malaita Province.
Elvis, a 45-year-old lifelong farmer from Hauhui village, manages a large multi-generational coconut plantation inherited from his family.
Although he operates an on-site copra dryer to process his harvest, he explained that the lack of basic working tools and unreliable maritime transport continues to hamper daily operations for those depending entirely on copra.
According to Elvis, shipping operators recently increased freight rates following a rise in market copra prices. Furthermore, vessel operators frequently prioritise passenger transport over agricultural cargo, leaving processed copra behind on wharves when space runs short.
This forces farmers to endure lengthy delays while waiting for subsequent vessels, placing severe financial strain on families relying on timely sales, Elvis said.
Despite these transport hurdles, Elvis acknowledged crucial assistance provided by the Commodities Export Marketing Authority (CEMA).
Elvis noted that CEMA’s ongoing distribution of copra bags and netting has enabled farmers to repair existing drying kilns, construct additional processing facilities, and maintain consistent production levels across the district.
Looking ahead, Elvis urges the national government to guarantee continued, long-term support for the official CEMA buying centre in Auki.
He emphasised that maintaining a reliable, fully operational buying hub is vital for local farmers to sell their yield, secure fair market prices, and sustain their long-term involvement in the country’s vital copra industry.
His concerns highlight the urgent need for dependable transport, practical equipment, and persistent government backing across Solomon Islands.

UNDP Programme Specialist for Inclusive Governance and Economic Growth, Solomon Kalu highlighted that media plays a critical role in ensuring citizens have access to reliable information to make informed decisions.
Mr Kalu highlighted this in his speech during the one-day Media, Elections and Democratic Governance Dialogue held at the Heritage Park Hotel in Honiara.
He said the importance of a free, professional and responsible media in strengthening democracy, promoting accountability and building public trust in democratic institutions, particularly during elections.
The dialogue, held under the theme “Strengthening Public Trust, Accountability and Civic Participation,” brings together electoral management bodies, civil society representatives, emerging journalists and academia.
Kalu said elections are more than a democratic exercise, as they provide an opportunity for citizens to shape the future of their nation.
He also said the strength of democracy depends not only on how votes are cast, but also on how people access information, engage in dialogue and build trust in democratic institutions.
“A free, professional, and responsible media does more than report events media does more than report events. It informs citizens, amplifies diverse voices, promotes accountability, and helps societies navigate change with confidence and understanding,” Kalu said.
He also highlighted the growing influence of social media, noting that while digital platforms have created greater opportunities for people to connect and participate in public life, they also bring responsibilities around truth, integrity and responsible communication.
Kalu said the choices made by governments, media professionals, civil society and citizens would determine whether information becomes a force that divides communities or strengthens democracy.
He called for collective efforts to promote peaceful, credible and inclusive elections, alongside independent and responsible media and digital spaces that encourage informed dialogue, mutual respect and national unity.
He also said that journalists, citizens, leaders and institutions all have a role to play in protecting democratic values.
“Every journalist who verifies a fact, every citizen who chooses truth over rumour, every leader who upholds integrity, and every institution that defends democratic values contributes to a stronger and more resilient democracy,” he said.
The dialogue provides an opportunity for participants to discuss the relationship between media, elections and democratic governance, with a focus on strengthening public trust, accountability and civic participation in Solomon Islands.

Construction of the Tina River Hydropower Project’s main dam has entered a new stage, with concrete placement underway and tunnel boring scheduled to begin in December.
A project update today from the Tina River Hydro project said that the first placement of roller-compacted concrete began on October 26, a dam elevation of 135 metres is targeted for the end of February 2027 and preparations are underway for tunnel boring on December 9.
As stated, the dam foundation is currently at an elevation of 115 metres and it will require 67 layers of concrete with each layer being 30 centimetres thick to reach the February target.
Excavation and stability issues on the dam’s right abutment were also identified and said to be addressed before construction can progress beyond the next planned stage.
Meanwhile, preparations are continuing for tunnel boring using the machine named ‘ROTIMA’. Its cutter head has been assembled and positioned inside the tunnel portal, while other components are still being assembled.
The tunnel segments are undergoing factory testing and are expected to arrive in Honiara by the end of November.
Tunnel boring is a key part of the project’s water conveyance system, which will carry water from the dam towards the powerhouse to generate electricity.
The 15-megawatt hydropower project intends to provide a renewable source of electricity for Honiara and reduce reliance on diesel-powered generation.

Central banks across the Pacific and globally must deepen evidence-based research and regional cooperation to navigate an increasingly volatile economic landscape marked by energy crises, geopolitical friction, and technological shifts.
Asian Development Bank representative Dr. John Beirne issued the call during the opening of the 3rd Central Bank of Solomon Islands (CBSI)-ADB-APAEA International Research Conference on Tuesday, October 27, at the Heritage Park Hotel.
Dr. Beirne warned that Pacific Island economies remain uniquely exposed to external shocks, particularly sudden swings in global commodity prices and supply chain bottlenecks, due to their heavy reliance on imported fuel and food.
“Escalating geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East continue to prolong the global energy crisis, with pressures extending far beyond standard crude oil prices and historical shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz.
“Compounding these energy troubles, a strengthening El Niño phenomenon is driving up price volatility for food and agricultural imports across import-dependent nations in the region,” he said.
He noted that at the same time, rapid structural transformations, including advancements in Artificial Intelligence, are presenting both new economic opportunities and novel policy challenges.
Dr. Beirne emphasised that central banks require rigorous, country-specific analytical research to maintain monetary and financial stability because economic structures and financial capacities differ vastly across countries.
He furthered that joint research initiatives and knowledge spillovers between regional central banks and partners like the ADB and APAEA are essential tools to identify common trends and learn from one another in the face of shared shocks.

The Government of Australia has provided an additional SBD10 million to support road rehabilitation and maintenance in Makira-Ulawa Province through the Solomon Islands National Transport Fund.
The funding was announced during a handover ceremony held at the Heritage Park Hotel in Honiara this morning, attended by the Minister for Infrastructure Development, Honourable Ricky Fuo’o, the Minister for Finance and Treasury, Hon. Rexson Ramofafia and the Premier of Makira-Ulawa Province, Honourable Stanley Siapu.
Speaking at the ceremony, Premier Siapu expressed gratitude to the Australian Government and people for their continued support through the Solomon Islands-Australia Partnership.
He described the funding announcement as a significant milestone in Makira-Ulawa’s journey towards sustainable economic growth, improved connectivity and social transformation.
“On behalf of the government and the good people of Makira-Ulawa Province, I want to extend our deepest gratitude to the Government and people of Australia,” Premier Siapu said.
He said the partnership continued to make a meaningful difference in the lives of rural Solomon Islanders.
Meanwhile, Minister Fuo’o acknowledged Australia’s contribution of AUD1.8 million, equivalent to approximately SBD10 million, to the National Transport Fund.
He said the funding demonstrated Australia’s confidence in the Ministry of Infrastructure Development and the National Transport Fund to deliver infrastructure that improves people’s lives.
“This contribution clearly demonstrates the confidence and trust the Government of Australia has in my Ministry and the National Transport Fund to deliver infrastructures that improves the lives of our people,” Fuo’o said.
The additional support is expected to strengthen road connectivity and support economic activities in the targeted provinces as the Solomon Islands continues to improve its transport infrastructure.
The support, worth AUD1.8 million, will build on previous road infrastructure projects in Honiara and Malaita, with the next phase focusing on improving road access in Makira-Ulawa.
The investment forms part of more than 100 kilometres of additional road maintenance and rehabilitation works planned across Makira-Ulawa, Honiara and Malaita.
The projects will aim to improve community connectivity, strengthen access to markets and essential services, and create employment opportunities for local people.
All projects will be delivered by Solomon Islands contractors, supporting local employment, skills development and business growth.
Kilometre Posts to Improve Road Identification Along Henderson–Mberande Corridor
The Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID), through the Land and Maritime Connectivity Project (LMCP), is continuing efforts to improve road connectivity, accessibility and safety along the Henderson–Mberande Road corridor through the installation of kilometre posts.
The kilometre posts will serve as important road identification markers, providing clear distance information at designated intervals along the road. Once installed, they will help motorists and other road users identify their locations and determine distances along the corridor.
Each kilometre post displays a distance measurement in kilometres, as the reference point for measuring distances along the road corridor. This will help road users and relevant authorities identify specific locations more easily when travelling, reporting incidents or carrying out road maintenance activities.
MID Permanent Secretary Mike Qaqara said the installation of kilometre posts was an important supporting measure to improve road identification, assist road users and strengthen road management.
“Kilometre posts provide essential location information that helps motorists and authorities identify specific sections of the road. This is particularly important for reporting road incidents, coordinating emergency responses and carrying out road maintenance activities,” Mr. Qaqara said.
He added that the initiative complements the Government’s ongoing efforts, through MID and its development partners, to improve road safety, accessibility and the long-term sustainability of road infrastructure for the benefit of communities and road users.
Mr. Qaqara also called on the public to take collective responsibility for protecting road furniture and other infrastructure installed along the corridor.
Road furniture, including kilometre posts, road signs, safety barriers and streetlights, is installed to improve road safety and benefit everyone. We urge all road users and community members to respect and protect these facilities and refrain from damaging, removing or vandalising them.
Protecting public infrastructure is a shared responsibility. We all have a role to play in ensuring these facilities remain in good condition and continue to serve present and future generations,” he said.
The kilometre posts will also support road maintenance teams and relevant authorities in identifying specific road sections during inspections, reporting road conditions and planning maintenance activities.
The Henderson–Mberande Road upgrade works are being implemented by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) under LMCP, a joint initiative of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Solomon Islands Government. The project aims to improve transport connectivity and accessibility while supporting safer and more reliable road infrastructure for communities in Guadalcanal Province.

THE Western Provincial Government (WPG) has warned business operators against unfairly increasing the prices of bottled drinking water and other essential goods amid ongoing drought conditions affecting communities across the province.
The warning follows recent price increases for cartons of bottled water in Gizo, where residents are facing growing difficulties accessing safe drinking water due to prolonged dry conditions associated with the current El Niño event.
In a notice issued through the Provincial Secretariat, the government reminded all business operators that compliance with national legislation, including the Consumer Protection Act and the Price Control Act, is a legal requirement for maintaining a valid business licence.
The notice state that all commercial operations in Western Province must comply with the conditions governing business licences under the Western Province Business Licence Ordinance 2012.
“The business must at all times be operated in compliance with all relevant Acts and subsidiary legislation of Solomon Islands, ordinances and subsidiary legislation and policies of the Western Province,” the statement said.
It said licensed businesses must maintain fair and reasonable prices for bottled drinking water and other essential goods, particularly during the current period of hardship.
The notice warns operators against unjustified price increases that could place additional financial pressure on residents already affected by water shortages and the drought.
Businesses have also been reminded to display prices clearly, ensure transparency in all transactions and act responsibly in meeting the needs of the public.
The notice further calls on business operators to cooperate with government authorities to ensure communities maintain access to safe drinking water.
It said the provincial administration will continue to monitor the situation and could engage relevant authorities, including consumer protection and trade agencies, if concerns about unfair pricing practices arise.
The notice state that non-compliance could result in administrative action, including the issuance of formal notices of breach, suspension or cancellation of business licences, and referrals to the Consumer Affairs and Price Control Division of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, Labour and Immigration for enforcement under national law.
The warning comes as Western Province continues to experience prolonged dry conditions, with water shortages affecting households and essential services in Gizo and surrounding communities.
The provincial government is urging businesses to act responsibly and ensure that residents can access essential supplies at fair and reasonable prices during the ongoing drought.

PEOPLES Republic of China has donated SBD100,000.00 towards Tutupeka church project at Marovo, Western Province.
The support was facilitated after the community seeked asssistance for their church project from the Chinese Embassy in Honiara.
Community Spokesperson, Kenny Jerry said Tutupeka church was built from bush materials and has been deteriorating.
He said the donation will help them build a brand-new church with roofing irons and comfortable furnitures.
“The generous financial assistance provided by the PRC Embassy comes at a time when our community desperately needed a new permanent church building to replace our old traditional leaf house church building, which often leak during rainy time.
“Our church’s roof has been leaking and there have been constant repairs in the past.
“This support is a game changer,” Jerry said.
He acknowledged China for recognising the need of his people and for responding positively.
Community elder, Johny Amos shared similar sentiments saying that God’s providence comes in many different ways, and God has used the generous giving of PRC to fulfil His purpose for his community.
“On behalf of the Tutupeka SDA Church building committee, we thank PRC Embassy for their great help toward our new church building” he said.
Amos said construction work is now moving to the next stage and they are determined to see that their new permanent church building is completed in the near future.
He said having a permanent church building is a longtime dream and desire of a small community and now that dream is becoming reality.
In December 2025, the PRC Embassy handed over funding assistance of SBD100,000 to the community to start the church building project after they approached the Embassy for financial assistance.
Since then, the small community has been busy constructing their new church and has now reached a stage where the main foundation of the building has been completed.

Communities in Lau Mbaelelea Constituency, North Malaita, are reportedly facing a serious water crisis, with residents having to walk long distances in search of water for drinking and cooking.
The crisis is being attributed to the current El Niño conditions, which has reportedly caused water sources to dry up, making it increasingly difficult for families to access clean water for their daily needs.
Similar water shortages have also been reported in communities in West Kwaio and around the Langalanga Lagoon, where residents are reportedly buying water from local stores. The water shortage is also affecting root crops and disrupting families’ daily meals.
Andrew Danstone Doddy Fiusi said community members had been walking long distances to collect water for their families, with the situation continuing for some time.
Fiusi said the affected communities included Manule, Royal Harbour, Riverside, Rameai, Canaan, Ailali, Abuisaie and Whitestone, along with other villages currently experiencing water shortages.
“Currently, our people in the communities have to walk inland before collecting water,” he said.
He added that although residents had been relying on inland water sources, those sources are also nearing depletion.
Fiusi calls on the responsible provincial authorities and the national government to provide urgent assistance to the affected communities as the situation continues to worsen.
He said communities are urging the authorities to prepare and deliver assistance to help residents cope with the growing water crisis.
The ongoing shortages highlight the challenges facing rural communities as access to reliable water supplies becomes increasingly difficult, affecting household needs, food security and the daily lives of residents.

The Government of Solomon Islands, through the Ministry of Communication and Aviation (MCA), is strengthening airport safety and operational reliability through the World Bank-supported Second Solomon Islands Roads and Aviation Project (SIRAP2).
The Regional Airport Asset Maintenance (RAAM) assignment is being delivered by the joint venture of Gyros Corporation and Pacific Consultants Company Limited following the signing of the contract on 19 November 2025. The assignment aims to improve the management and maintenance of infrastructure and equipment at Honiara International Airport and Munda International Airport through a five-year Asset Management Plan (AMP).
The AMP will help the Solomon Islands Airports Corporation Limited (SIACL) transition from reactive repairs to planned maintenance, enabling potential problems to be identified early and addressed before they affect airport operations.
An assessment of airport assets, including lighting, air navigation systems, communications equipment, electrical and mechanical systems, security equipment and vehicles, found that most remain in serviceable condition. However, some require repairs, closer monitoring or consideration for replacement to maintain safe and reliable operations.
Permanent Secretary of MCA, Alwyn Danitofea, said that “effective asset management was essential to maintaining safe and dependable airport services. Proper planning and timely maintenance are important to ensuring our airport infrastructure and equipment remain safe, reliable and fit for purpose. This initiative will help strengthen our ability to identify maintenance priorities, use resources effectively and sustain these important national assets.
The AMP will guide maintenance priorities based on asset condition, operational importance and the risks associated with equipment failure. Depending on the needs of each asset, interventions may include repairs, rehabilitation or replacement.
Through SIRAP2, the initiative will strengthen SIACL’s capacity to manage airport infrastructure, improve maintenance planning and support the long-term sustainability of aviation assets.
Beyond the RAAM activities, SIRAP2 continues to deliver critical institutional strengthening and project management in country. This includes the design and supervision of and civil works; technical support and training to MCA, SIACL, CAASI and Solomon Airlines; climate resilient road asset management improvement; Road safety audits and capacity improvement; and activities to address the identified gender gap within MCA and technical support and training to address GBV.
