A barangay in Tiwi town, Albay may see the end to their water scarcity problems as a Level 2 water supply facility powered by solar energy is being constructed according to Ako Bicol Rep. Elizaldy Co. | GabrielLaluINQ
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority , a Level 1 water system may be a “protected well or a developed spring with an outlet but without a distribution system,” which can be used by an average of 15 households.
Level 2 water systems on the other hand, PSA says, is a water facility with “a source, a reservoir, a piped distribution network with adequate treatment facility, and communal faucets.” “Usually, one faucet serves 4 to 6 households. Generally suitable for rural and urban fringe areas where houses are clustered densely to justify a simple piped system,” PSA said in an entry on its website.
“The definition was modified with the inclusion of the underlined phrase ‘with adequate treatment’ to emphasize that source of water supply has passed the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water,” it added. Co has been pushing the use of solar power in delivering water to residents, saying that it is a model that can be used nationwide. Last May 16, Co said that the possible water shortage due to the looming El Niño season can be addressed in this manner, which is also environmentally friendly.
