RAIN WATER HARVESTING FACILITY FOR PERCY JUNOR HOSPITAL

A rehabilitated rain water harvesting facility will be handed over to the Percy Junor Hospital, to improve the hospital's challenges with water supply.

Currently, the hospital receives water from rain water harvesting, piped and trucked water. The hospital has two acres of drainage basin to fill three catchment tanks through rainwater harvesting, which has an aggregate storage of approximately 749, 390 gallons of water. This source when filled to capacity has the capability to supply the hospital with 90 percent of its water supply.

Minister of Finance and the Public Service and Member of Parliament for North East Manchester, Hon. Audley Shaw will deliver remarks.
