He adds that WAF has allocated a budget for this initiative.

“The program involves verification on the side to look at the tank base and make sure the downpipe and the guttering and connections are in place. So we are going through the rest of the applications. We already have five provisions for the tanks in place, and the rest of the applications will be processed in due course.”

Dr. Chanan also states that applications are thoroughly examined to ensure they are distributed to those in need.
