            To supply the campus with potable water, Dr. Stephanie S. Pimentel, CAPSU Burias’ Campus Administrator, approved the Reverse Osmosis project proposed by the Supreme Student Council (SSC) and Future Leaders of the Philippines (FLP) last Academic Year 2020-2021.

SSC President Nicanor De Ocampo Jr. and FLP President Louel Lee Agpalo initiated the said project with the support of their officers and respective advisers, Dr. Romulo Lagon and Engr. Monalyn Oloroso.

Agpalo expressed that, "CAPSU Burias deserves clean and safe drinking water" because as a student of the campus, he observed that, "this is one of the needs of the students and faculty."

Reverse osmosis is a technique of removing the vast majority of pollutants from water by forcing it through a semi-permeable membrane under pressure.

"I believe that this would be beneficial to all, especially to the students. The goal of this project is to provide CAPSU Burias community with clean water to drink, so that they do not have to travel long just to have drinking water at home," De Ocampo said.

            The site that will be opening soon will be located near the school’s canteen, on the right side of the covered gym, and the total amount allotted for the procurement of the reverse osmosis machine with complete accessories has reached 219,000 php.

            "After all, water is critical to our well-being," Agpalo further added.
