YANGON City Development Committee (YCDC) ensures adequate drinking water supply to Dala Township wards, where local people face a water shortage problem as the lakes start to dry up in summer.
The water distribution project under the YCDC has been distributing water from 26 March 2021. The officials have provided 9,600 gallons of water to the local people in the Yazathingyan ward in Dala Township.
Moreover, they also supply 15,600 gallons of drinking water to Hmawsat and Tapinshwehtee wards and Tadachaung Sanpya village as of 8 April.
About 4,562 households in 24 wards have been connected to water pipelines. The YCDC built 1,200-gallon concrete water tanks in 34 sites with a household water supply and filled the tanks every two days.

At least three people were killed when demonstrators took to the streets again across Myanmar on March 13, after a deadly overnight crackdown as hundreds defied a curfew to hold vigils in honour of those killed since the military seized power.
The junta has deployed increasing force against daily protests since the February 1 coup, with more than 70 people killed according to the UN’s top rights expert on the country.
