The first lot of 78 water tanks were handed over by the district Member of Parliament Faualo Harry Schuster in a brief ceremony last Saturday with 57 water tanks expected this week.<\/p>\n
Faualo acknowledged the villages\u2019 stance in working together to build resilient responses to natural disasters and especially in securing water supplies.<\/p>\n
The Village Council Secretary, Masuisuialemalietoa Alofa said one of the challenges faced by most families living further inland and on higher grounds is the weak supply pressure into their homes.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut with these water tanks, it will assist these families in time of need,\u201d said Masuisui.<\/p>\n
There are 135 households in Alamagoto and Masuisui said the idea was for every family to get a water tank.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why the committee opted to get 500 litre water tanks rather than the 1000 litre ones so no family is left behind,\u201d he said,<\/p>\n
Alamagoto village makes up 9 villages in the Vaimauga 4 district and from the $94,000 they received under Phase One of the $1m project, they spent $81,000 to buy water tanks.<\/p>\n
