Distribution is totally free.
Given the shortage of drinking water in the city as a result of the rains and mudslides that occurred this weekend, the Provincial Municipality of Trujillo has been distributing the liquid free of charge with five cisterns, through the Agua para el Desarrollo program.
This work began last Saturday and continues through the Development Management of the MPT. Its owner, Diana Tello Murrugarra, announced that this solidarity civic action has been carried out in peripheral places and in urbanizations of the city, prioritizing those places where the water service has been completely cut off.
The official said that they have arrived in Alto Trujillo, Miramar, Alto Salaverry, Alto Moche, Santa Teresa de Ávila, Pesqueda, among others, where with the support of Citizen Security personnel the delivery is ordered. “The disaster left a lot of pain and needs in the population. There are those who lost almost everything and it will be difficult for them to recover material goods that they acquired with great effort, ”she said.
There are places where there are several days without water and upon arrival we have found scenes of great despair, because of all that the families have gone through. These filled their tanks and carried the mayor’s message of hope, he added.
As he explained, on Saturday they began the distribution of water with 2 cisterns and now they have 5 attending; and it will continue until this public service is regularized.
The water is being delivered to parks or strategic places where the population goes with their deposits and the cisterns have no problems arriving and it is easier to distribute the liquid.
On the other hand, the official pointed out that in coordination with the Trujillo Public Charity, lunches are being delivered in severely affected sectors of La Esperanza, Wichanzao and in the Center for Comprehensive Care of the Elderly.
Another working group supervises the markets, looking at the issue of sanitary surveillance, raising awareness among sellers and buyers. Fumigations for dengue are going to be programmed in these places, said the mayor official.
