As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and responsible water management, the PPUC water operations collaborated with several Aimeliik legislators and community for comprehensive cleaning of the dam in Mongami, Aimeliik on December 16, 2023. The work consisted of removing sediments inside the dam to ensure maximum water capacity and prevent high turbidity. They also cleared the pathway leading up to dam and cleaned the structure and intake.
Engaging residents in the dam cleaning process creates a sense of ownership and pride in preserving our precious water resource. Collaborations such a these not only enhances the environmental impact of our efforts but also fosters a sense of shared responsibility and community pride.
PPUC would like to express its sincere appreciation to legislators Alvin Samsel, Nicholas Eriich and Eric Reklai for reaching out to us for the collaboration. Also special thanks to lead water operator Spence Wasisang and water operator Livan Ngiratumerang for facilitating the work.
