Puerto Rico National Guard Distributes Water in Morovis

The Puerto Rico National Guard distributed thousands of gallons of water in Morovis, a large municipality in the island’s center, on Tuesday, October 17.

Guardsmen brought tanker trucks that carried 2,000 gallons of water each. The distribution is one of several happening throughout the country since Hurricane Maria. About 65 percent of water customers have access to drinking water, according to the government website.

Guardsmen also are purifying water that can be distributed to residents recovering from the storm. Credit: Puerto Rico National Guard via Storyful
