Public Hearing on Gigaquit Water System Project

The Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) is a national agency that provides facilities for construction of water systems and financial assistance through grants and/or loans, as well as establishment of necessary procedures. Hence, the Local Government Unit of Gigaquit hosted by the Engineering Department conducted a public hearing last May 21, 2009 held at the Municipal Multi-purpose Hall in Gigaquit, Surigao del Norte through the leadership of Engr. Restituto E. Mira, Jr. who is the acting General Manager of the water system project.


The said event received positive response from selected barangays such as: Alambique, Ipil, Villafranca and San Isidro and some 224 residents from the same. It was attended by local chief executive Hon. Carlos M. Egay, Sr. assisted by the Vice-Mayor Felixberto Jala, SB members, Brgy. Captains of the said barangays and members of Gigaquit Water District who fully participated despite of their busy work schedules.

The speakers during the event are the representatives from LWUA namely; Engr. Alfredo Bayanin, Engr. Felizardo Salazar and Miss Lizelle Zabalo. Also invited were the General Managers of the water districts of Placer and Bacuag.

The purpose of the said activity was to visualize through the help of Power Point presentations the specified data, detailed costs of equipments, objectives of the project, budgetary funds and most importantly, the result of the fundamental study on the exact rates payable by the households in the selected areas. It was clearly explained by the speakers and concluded that each household in certain areas will pay the amount based on the result of their computation.


In addition, the Gigaquit Water District Council will be planning for higher connections of the system for wider utilization by more households. This time around, those selected areas will benefit on its first action provided by a limited meter of G.I pipe.

An open forum was initiated for further clarifications. It ended fruitfully and the people agreed about certain policies and regulations.
