Solomon Islands Water Authority’s (SIWA) five-year corporate plan sets out their vision of “safe water for a healthy nation”.
SIWA CEO Carmine Piantedosi spoke about the plan on Monday, August 25, 2025 at the 16th Pacific Water and Wastewater Association Conference and Expo 2025 at the Aquatic Centre in Honiara.
He said the plan, launched in 2024 sets out their vision for safe water for a healthy nation.
“It also spells out our mission, and that is to provide reliable safe water supply and sanitation systems. Working with communities to plan, deliver and operate infrastructure that minimises the social and environmental impacts of our activities,” said Piantedosi.
He added that the plan also spells out their core values of impartiality, morality, professionalism, accountability, consistency and transparency.
The CEO pointed out that what they mean by these values is treating all their customers and stakeholders with fairness.
“Uphold standards of what is right and good conduct.
“Provide our services with the highest degree of professionalism, competency and skills. Show our readiness to take full accountability for our actions. As well as to ensure consistency and operate in a fair and open manner and without prejudice in delivering water services,” he stressed.
Piantedosi mentioned that the values clearly underpin their corporate objectives.
“And that is being a customer centric organisation is a primary objective in our corporate plan,” he said.
Piantedosi explained that while they focus on human resource management and development, safety and financial management of the organisation is also another area objective along with sustainable use and management of environment and water resources.
He noted that they are also working on delivering services in a safe and sustainable manner.
“And enhancing our operational performance and delivering customer service standards and levels of service. But of course, all this path to recovery will be more improvable,” he said.
