This microproject will ensure the long-term functionality and efficiency of Siargao's Water Refill Station by implementing essential maintenance and replacing critical components, particularly the membrane filters. With these upgrades, the station will continue providing safe, clean drinking water to the community, especially to vulnerable groups like children, who rely on it for hydration and health. Improving the station's equipment will directly benefit all water users.
This microproject addresses the urgent need for preventive maintenance and component replacement at Siargao's Water Refill Station, specifically targeting worn-out membrane filters. Since the filters have not been cleaned or replaced since the station's inception, water quality and output efficiency may be compromised. By rehabilitating the equipment, we will prevent potential breakdowns, maintain high water quality standards, and ensure consistent, safe drinking water access for our community.
This microproject will solve the problem by funding essential rehabilitation and maintenance for the water refill station. Key actions include replacing worn membrane filters, tuning the pressure switch, and performing preventive maintenance on critical components. These upgrades will restore the equipment's optimal function, ensuring that the water provided remains safe and meets quality standards. Regular upkeep will extend the machine's lifespan and support uninterrupted access to water.
Ensuring unlimited access to drinking water in each classroom have major health benefits for all students and personell spending an average of 10 hours daily onsite. As per regular practice the teacher herself needs to cover the costs for drinking water in her own classroom making it a heavy burden to carry as an average salary of a teacher is just above poverty level in The Philippines.
