Drinking Water Distributed – Free for the Southeast and West
Pedro Zaragoza Vizcarra Foundation, Lucerne Milk BipGas, will join the Board of Municipal Water and Sanitation (JMAS) to distribute free water in the southern colonies (east and west of the city) that are currently not connected to such a facility.
Veronica Jimenez, director of the Foundation, said two trucks belonging to the enterprise will be distributed, on a schedule, as of today in 22 colonies. She said that around 6,000 families will benefit from this, being the recipients of 800 liters of water on each distribution day.
Tankers have a capacity to charge between 15 thousand liters of water per trip. According to the schedule in the division, every Monday the trucks will go to Plazuela de Acuña, San Rafael, Plazuelita and Tarahumara. On Tuesday they will go to Golden Valley, Desert Farms and Eye of God. By Wednesday, the tour begins in Loma Blanca, then Emiliano Zapata and will end in in San Isidro Extension. Thursday’s schedule will be in Lomas de Poleo Alto, Lomas de Poleo Low, Santa Elena Farm and New Millennium. On Friday it will go to Polo Gamboa, Peasant, Villa Esperanza, United Farm Bello Horizonte. The schedule will begin daily, at 10 am prompt.
The families concerned will be contacted by the Foundation which will also be in touch with the Bipgas and Lucerne Group to provide trucks, drivers’ salaries and water transfer. It was also indicated that over the hot summer months, the high temperatures that affect our city impacts everyone but it is the children and low-income seniors who do not have the basic service of water in their homes, so are more exposed to health problems who are the most vulnerable. Jimenez also pointed out that this program is activated each year by the Foundation and the Zaragoza group, generating very good results.
