DILG okays PHP5-M water system for Tacloban’s ‘Yolanda’ housing

TACLOBAN CITY, Jan. 13 (PNA) -- Nearly 700 households at the city’s northern relocation site will soon have access to potable water after the city government secured funding from the Department of Interior Local Government (DILG) for water needs of families badly hit by supertyphoon Yolanda.

The PHP5 million fund will come from the DILG’s bottom up budgeting (BuB) potable water system sub-project. Specifically, it will be used for the installation of the water pipeline distribution systems in two housing projects built by UN Habitat and GMA Kapuso Foundation.

City Administrator lawyer Irene Chiu said the project will provide much needed water services in permanent housing, whose dweller are highly dependent on daily water rations.

Recently, the city government had put up a satellite office in the north, some 13.4 kilometers from the city center, to provide much needed government services to the resettled communities.

Concerned households which attended the public consultation organized by the city government last week welcomed the project.

This latest development is part of the thrust of Mayor Cristina Romualdez to provide basic amenities to resettled families in the northern resettlement sites, according to Chiu.

She added that the BuB project will provide households with free pipe and water service installation and is expected to commence as soon as the fund is downloaded to the local government unit.

Each of the beneficiary households will be installed with a level 3-type water system; which means that each house will have their own water connection and meter.

Private water utility provider Mactan Rock will supply water sourced from different potable sources in the city.

The city engineer’s office will undertake the pipe installation, while Mactan Rock will take care of the water systems maintenance. (PNA)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
