55 mins confidence:
a facility with running water Explanation: I found a reference on the Internet to a facility for 500 people; I assume it is intended for people who don't have running water piped to their own homes. I found no clues as to what the facility will be like so I suggest you keep it as general as possible; the end of the sentence makes it clear what it's for. |
