VILLAR-LED Prime Water Infrastructure Corp. on Thursday said it gave drinking water to the families affected by the recent Taal Volcano eruption.
Gallons of drinking water were delivered to about 1,000 affected families, the company said.
The outreach was in partnership with Crystal Clear, and the local government of Santo Tomas, Batangas, it said.
The entire province of Batangas was declared and remains to be under a state of calamity following Sunday’s phreatic eruption of Taal Volcano, which severely affected the towns surrounding Volcano island, and adjacent municipalities.
Volunteers from Prime Water headed to the town of Santo Tomas, one of the identified evacuation centers, to bring a thousand gallons of potable drinking water.
“Prime Water is thankful to the LGU and the police force for the generous assistance given in the distribution of these supplies to the families who are really in need of drinking water,” the company said.
Prime Water provides service to more than 500,000 households in the country and produces more than 300 million liters of treated water daily from the deep wells and surface water resources it operates.
