Mobile water supply for Cebu City’s upland sites

Residents of Cebu city’s mountain barangays who go down to the city center to  get water now have some relief.

The Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) started rolling out its  mobile filtration system in sitio Biasong, barangay Bonbon last April 30.

MCWD general manager Ernie Delco said the system uses water from the river in Bonbon to supply residents.

It can produce up to 20 cubic meters of water per hour.

“Due to the low water supply at the Jaclupan dam,  residents need water more than ever,” Delco said.

He said the water is  fit for drinking as they use a filtration system donated by the Japanese firm Nihon Dengyo.

He said residents of mountain barangays can avail of the water from their system from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. using their truck or containers provided they disinfect these trucks properly.

“We will really help the best way we can. We won’t neglect our responsibility to them,” Delco said.

The state weather bureau Pagasa said the El Niño dry spell could last until September this year.
