30. Padang Paramian In Koto Timur IV (a high priority area because it was cut off due to landslides), Oxfam has been undertaking water tankering with a 3,000 litre tank . By 8 th October we had distributed 7,000 litres, setting up 7 water points. We are planning to restore rainwater catchment systems in this area to take over from tankering in the medium term. In Koto Timur V – located in Padang, (an area where 200 people were buried in a landslide) we have set up a 3,000 litre tank and tap system together with water tankering. Seven more tanks are read to be installed on this site, and we will need to supply jerry cans for storage. Agam – We are working with two IDP areas which were flagged by IoM as a priority. In Tanjung Raya we are working with PDAM (Indonesian water authorities) to extend a spring source to field where people will be located and may be involved with latrine building in conjunction with PMI. In Sungai Tampang we have installed a water storage system which will be fed from a spring source. This will serve 300HH. In both cases we are very conscious that we are not drawn into long term water supply in these locations. Oxfam Situation Report excerpt, 9 th Oct 2009
