Red Cross donates equipment to city
THE International Committee of the Red Cross turned over a state-of-the-art Water Sanitation (WATSAN) Equipment to the Dagupan City government on July 21.
The equipment, worth approximately P400,000, will utilize and convert waters from rivers and sea near the city into potable water.
Mayor Alipio Fernandez Jr. thanked Red Cross for the donation, describing it as timely and needed considering the dry spell plaguing most parts of Luzon.
The WATSAN equipment, which is a mobile device, consists of two tanks that can store up to 10,000 liters and 5,000 liters of water each.
The equipment, through its Watalys device, is also capable of producing stock solution that can be used as an alternative for chlorine granules for water disinfection.
Members of the city disaster coordinating council will be trained by the PNRC on how to operate it.
