“Suffice to say, the works have proceeded at Ueligitone where the water meters were installed until the meeting is done and issues have been sorted out.”
The Samoa Water Authority (S.W.A.) is asking Magiagi residents to be patient, saying they are doing all they can to settle the matter.
This response from S.W.A. was issued after a story was published in the Samoa Observer concerning water meters that were installed in the village.
Villagers claim that six months after the Authority agreed to trial the free water meters in the village for three months, it still has not happened.
They assume the delay with this issue has been caused by a change in leadership at the Authority following the death of the late General Manager Tainau Moefa’auo Vui Taputoa Titimaea in February this year.
Despite this unfortunate eventuality, S.W.A.’s General Manager, Seugamaalii Jamie Saena, said the matter had not been forgotten and ensured it would be resolved as soon as possible.
In an email Seugamaalii to the Observer, she confirmed the Authority met with the village last Tuesday.

“Then she left the road and her car continued along the footpath where she ended up in a ditch, overturning her vehicle in the process.
“The meeting was to sort out any issues or concerns the residents of Magiagi have regarding the works,” said Seugamaalii.
“Suffice to say, the works have proceeded at Ueligitone where the water meters were installed until the meeting is done and issues have been sorted out.”
However, the conclusion of the meeting is still unknown with Seugamaalii saying a full statement about the issue would be released by her Authority this week.
