Water Tank Solves Problem For A Family

Storing water in times of disaster will no longer be a problem for Robin Takino after the Water Au­thority of Fiji (WAF) handed him a water tank last week.

He had applied for the 2500-litre water tank in 2018.

Mr Takino will be using the water tank to help his family that resides at Itumuta Vil­lage.

He has seven children who would be helped by the pro­vision of rain water.

“Most of my children are still in secondary and pri­mary school and water is something they need daily,” he said.

“During disasters, water could be disrupted and we will not have to worry about anything since we will have water.

“This could save us a lot of money since we pay for wa­ter here. We can boil water for our safety.”

Mr Takino is also a fisher­man and the water tank is expected to be used to keep his side business afloat with­out spending a penny on wa­ter bills.

“I go fishing a lot and some­times I sell fish when I get orders. This will help my wife and I save money,” he said.
