.S. Marine Sgt. Adriana Smith and Sgt. Gary N. Cox change the batteries of a Mobile Electric Power 007 generator (MEP-007) that produces more than 100 kilowatts of power. The MEP-007 powers six Tactical Water Purification Systems that will provide water to the Hario housing area. The Marines attached to the 9th Engineer Support Battalion from Okinawa and Marines from Marine Wing Support Squadron 171 have been deployed to Fleet Activities Sasebo with Tactical Water Purification Systems to elevate some of the water needs required from the local Japanese area when rationing takes effect in the area. Each system can produce between 900-1500 gallons of potable water per hour, depending on water quality. The water purification system will provide for 100 percent of the water needs of the Hario housing area.
