THE Valenzuela City government has deployed mobile showers to communities affected by water supply interruptions amid the extremely hot weather.
Two trucks, retrofitted with four shower enclosures and toilets, handwash basins, and a folding clothes rack, will allow affected residents to have free baths to avoid heat-related health problems.
“Ito pong dalawang mobile shower ay papaikutin po natin sa atin pong komunidad…Ito po ay iikot dahil po may mga komunidad tayo na medyo may kaunting power interruption,” Mayor Wes Gatchalian said.
“Papaikutin po natin… para po maiwasan natin ang sakit na mula sa heat wave na nararanasan natin ngayon,” he added.
As of Tuesday, April 30, 2024, the mobile showers have reached the barangays of Gen T. De Leon and Parada.
