Haripur gets modern filtration plant

Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Omar Ayub Khan has inaugurated a state-of-the-art water filtration plant in Tareen Abad, located in District Haripur.

Installed by a private beverage company in collaboration with World Wide Fund (WWF), the plant incorporates latest technology such as reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration to cleanse and filter the local water supply and provide residents of District Haripur with optimum potable water.

The minister hailed the establishment of the plant in the area, acknowledging that the technology being used in filtration will go a long way in eliminating water-borne diseases like typhoid, tapeworm, diarrhoea and gastroenteritis, and will improve the overall health of the inhabitants.

Ayub assured those present at the ceremony that welfare projects like these will always have his support, and that ensuring the provision of education, health, potable water and cleanliness is among the government’s top priorities.
