Residents in a western New South Wales town are demanding answers as a pipe connected to nowhere marks a failed $4-million government project to droughtproof its water supply.
The project would have connected Nyngan to bore water in times of drought, but it ran out of money halfway through construction after the cost blew out by an extra $4.7 million.
The state government has given no assurances that it will fund the rest of the project.
