The Tarlac City Government has distributed gallons of drinking water to 22 elementary and high schools and 18 daycare centers affected by the water supply problem in the western side of the city.

Mayor Susan Yap said the assistance was provided to help ensure access to clean drinking water for students, teachers, and children in daycare centers amid the ongoing supply concerns.

“Dahil po sa problema natin sa suplay ng tubig sa western side, apektado rin ang ating mga paaralan at daycare centers, lalo na pagdating sa pangangailangan para sa malinis na inuming tubig,” Yap said.

“Kaya naman po ay namahagi tayo ng mga galon ng tubig sa 22 elementary at high schools at 18 daycare centers bilang dagdag na suporta para sa ating mga mag-aaral, guro, at mga batang nasa daycare,” she added.

Yap appealed to residents for patience as the city continues to respond to the water supply situation.

“Konting tiis at pasensya lang po, mga kababayan. Makakaasa po kayo na ang City Government of Tarlac ay laging handang umagapay at tumugon sa inyong mga pangangailangan, lalo na sa mga ganitong panahon,” the mayor said.
