TACLOBAN CITY – The members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Tacloban approved a resolution addressed to the Leyte Metropolitan Water District and the Maynilad regarding the problem of water supply in this city.
The resolution’s author Councilor Jerry “Sambo” Yaokasin said that the resolution was in response to queries of Tacloban residents he had received in his account at networking site Facebook and even on text messages regarding the water supply problem of the city.
“It is important that the Sangguniang Panlungsod should know the state of the upgrading that LMWD is implementing on the water pipeline for the city water consumers,” Yaokasin said.
“We need to know when this will be finished, if they had set a time line and when will be the water supply for the city be adequate,” he added.
According to him, based on complaints that he had received on his Facebook account some residents had been awake all night waiting for water to come out from their faucets.
“Majority of the Taclobanons is suffering from lack of water supply and this needs to be answered and we can only have the answer to the question if we will ask the LMWD on the status of their water pipe upgrading project,” he said.
Aside from the LMWD, the resolution was also addressed to the Maynilad, a private company that deals on water supply distribution and had signed a memorandum of agreement with the city government of Tacloban to conduct a feasibility study and survey among Tacloban water consumers.
“We just want to be fair with the city government, because they are the one who made a statement before, that Maynilad will be putting a water system for the people of this city,” said Yaokasin.
“When will they be coming in and what is the time table on when the water system will be finished if ever they construct a water system for the city consumer,” Yaokasin added.
