According to plan, 28 new public taps have been installed and completed necessary maintenance and new construction of 3 catchments, 2 reservoir tanks, 1 sedimentation (filtration) tanks.

In the past, the community has limited water supply and the quality of water was poor, now they have access to water for 24 hours in the rainy season and at least 6 hours water supply for the rest of the season. As water is source is preserved, pipes are maintained, catchments and reservoir tanks are constructed new and water is passed through the sedimentation/filtration process, the quality of water is clean and safe to drink.
