Khotang. Bio-sand filters have been distributed to the locals of Pipchahi of Halesi Tuwachung Municipality-3 to consume clean water. Although there was water facility in the village, the locals were forced to drink contaminated water as the source was contaminated.

Ward chair Bhupal Singh Rai said that the filters were distributed free of cost with the financial assistance of the municipality and technical assistance of West Pani Company Limited. Now 26 houses will be able to drink clean water.

Locals had demanded a filter from the municipality after the piped water from Dhamikhola, about 800 meters away from the village, was contaminated.

Municipality Mayor Bimala Rai said that filters have been distributed as per the municipality’s plan to provide clean water to every household as the water flowing in the river has been found to be very contaminated. He said, “The consumption of contaminated water also caused various types of diseases to the locals. They will now be able to drink pure water for at least 20 years. ’

Water has also been treated using the same filter at The Child Development Primary School here.
