Hundred new water filtration plants to be installed in Multan to provide clean drinking water to people.
District Coordinating Officer (DCO) Nadir Chatha told a delegation on Friday that water filtration plants – having modern technology – would be installed and a sum of Rs 40 million had been earmarked for the purpose.
One plant would be installed at a high school and 100 such institutions have been identified in union councils. Chatha said the 80 ‘old’ water filtration plants had been handed over to philanthropists and would become functional within next few days.
“The scheme’s completion would bring the total number of filtration plants to 300,” he said.
The DCO said a survey to check the ground water quality was in progress for the plants’ installation – which would operate under the supervision of the school’s council and the union council’s chairman.
