TACLOBAN CITY – The municipal government of Tabango in Leyte will now operate its own municipal water system to address the need of having a source of potable water. This, after the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Leyte approved on its third endorsement Municipal Ordinance No. 1-2010 of the Sangguniang Bayan of the said town.
The said ordinance creates the Tabango Municipal Waterworks System as an autonomous economic enterprise owned and controlled by the local government unit, defining its functions, creation of rates, fees and other charges.
In an interview with Leyte Third District Board Member Bernard Jonathan Remandaban, who is a former mayor of the said town, said that they were convinced to put up their own water system by the officials of Albuera town.
Remandaban added that initially the charge per cubic meter will be P30 for residential use and P34 per cubic meter for commercial use.
To ensure that there will be a sufficient water source for their water system, Remandaban revealed that they had identified four major springs as the sources of their water.
The waters sources are found in Barangays Tabing and Campokpok, and in the poblacion.
“We need this to ensure its sustainability and this was also the result of the consultation we have conducted on how we can ensure that we will meet the future demands of water for our town,” Remandaban said.
He added that aside for the fact that the population of their town is increasing Tabango is now getting to be an investment area in their district.(Roel Amazona)
