THE MANILA Water Company assured the public that schools will have enough water supply for hygiene and sanitation.

The company added that its water access, sanitation, and hygiene or WASH program, under the Lingap Eskwela program, continues.

Under the program, multi-faucet hand hygiene facilities are installed in schools to promote handwashing.

Recently, the company installed WASH facilities in schools in Taguig City and Pateros.

It said that 29 sets of 10-faucet hand hygiene facilities were formally turned over to Taguig City and Pateros schools at the joint inauguration held at Ricardo P. Cruz Sr. Elementary School.

The event was graced by Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano, MWSS Regulatory Office Chief Regulator Atty. Patrick Ty, Manila Water East Zone Business Operations OIC Group Director Shoebe Hazel Caong, and MWF Executive Director Reginald Andal.

Manila Water also offered technical support to more than 1,300 schools in its service areas including the inspection of restrooms, faucets, and water meters as well as building drinking fountains and wash stations.
