“We placed additional 5 tanks with a capacity of 1 cubic meter in private sector. Adventist Humanitarian organization ADRA has bought 6 tanks with capacity 1 cubic meter. 7 more tanks are provided by Czech humanitarian organization “People in Need”. Currently, 34 water tanks for drinking waters with capacity of 1 cubic meter are installed in schools and other social facilities of Avdiivka”, – said Zhebrivkyi.
According to him, emergency response center is considering the possibility of purchasing another 10 tanks with capacity of 1 cubic meter for drinking water and State Emergency Service of Ukraine is prepared to relocate two water carries, which have capacity of 7 and 9 cubic meters respectively, for distribution of drinking water.
