SAN CARLOS’

CWD, Holding Out

Sights and Splendour

Water is life and everybody wants it 24/7. What happens when one wakes up, reach for a glass of water and

nothing comes out from the faucet? How would people react to the safeness of its quality for human consumption when it turns muddy liquid every time it rains? The desperation to wait for its water schedule has left the residents into having sleepless nights; for the precious water to flow slowly filling the pail like a ration. And, how about the constant regular rates of water charges when the supply can’t even meet its demand?

Nasty complaints and harsh comments have been San Carlos City Waterworks Department’s (CWD) daily breakfast for quiet some time, putting the office’s accountability at stake until a solution has finally flowed and now underway.

Predicaments over water scarcity was hard to believe and that a growing number of people are faced with the reality of zero water since water is eternally recurring and the city was believed to have the abundant water supply from Bodiawe Spring in Brgy. Punao.

Engr. Edward Sanchez, CWD Department Head revealed that the Bodiawe Spring has been supplying the urban consumers with water amounting to five million liters per day (5MLD) and since 1995 up to now there is no significant change in the supply, that problem only

water shortage since the CWD has to close the pumps to prevent sullied water to get into the households.

It is now evident that water supply is still abundant. The critical aspect in water shortage experienced by the residents lies in the availability and accessibility of clean water supply especially during rainy days, not the scarcity. Given the fact that urbanization growth and climate change are hard to control, water utilities though are more manageable. Hence, facility and operations are the keys to open answers to most questions.

The SolutionThe key to achieve a steady supply and accessibility to clean water is to

transform the system network into a modern and efficient technological infrastructure. Doing this is not magic. Integrating different plans on a platform to optimize operational water utilities to improve delivery and raise the service for the people entail a multi-million budget. That’s the reason why the CWD seemed futile, have been washed up by all criticisms because even if they have the effective strategy to address the situation, there are not enough funds for the rehabilitation or to improve aging assets.

It was a gift from heaven when the city was appropriated the P120M grant for a 5MLD Surface Water Treatment Plant by the Department of Tourism (DOT) thru the Department of Public Works and Highways.

Construction of said project at the 0.5 hectare in Sitio Medina, Brgy. Rizal started last year. Said project utilizes water from Andoon River that undergo four processes before turning it to potable water. Here, water is catch by an intake box, put into the two clarifiers- the buffer tank then multi-media filter to post chlorination.

Engr. Sanchez said since March 2019 the facility has been yielding an initial of 2.5MLD and expected to double result when it becomes fully operational within this year. It has already served the areas of So. Cotcot, Medina, Sancaville, Fatima Village, Greenville, Rovirih Heights, City Homes and partly, Campo Siete. Hence, water nowadays has started to regain its steady supply among other parts of the city.

He added that when the reliability and efficiency of said treatment facility will be confirmed, CWD will expand and replicate the same procedure on the Bodiawe Spring source to address the problem of muddy water supply during rainy days to yield clean potable water even when it ‘s flooded. Sanchez cited that the treatment facility has an equal strength with the Bodiawe spring only that it can be affected during hot season or by El Niño while the latter being a spring, showed no significant change in the supply since 1995 up to the present. People in San Carlos will still have abundant supply even during hot season. There is also an assurance that if all water sources will normally operate, the supply of water will be greater than the demand.

Sanchez stressed that part of the grant by the DOT includes completion of the water system in Sipaway Island, installation of the level 3 water system in Brgy. Guadalupe, expansion and improvement of level 3 water system in Brgy. Quezon, completion of level 3 water system in Brgy. Nataban, and construction of level 3 water system from So. Katiklan to

occurs during rainy season.

Causes of Water DepletionIt is evident that in some parts of the country and around the world,

most of their water reservoirs are almost dry. Accordingly, what causes this reduction in water supply can be attributed to rapid urbanization and climate change as well as the low operational capacities of technological infrastructure.

In San Carlos City, Engr. Sanchez, said that in 2014, there were only 7,039 household consumers in the city compared to 11,647 as of May of 2019 including the 436 from Sipaway Island and 2,605 from the upland barangays (Bagonbon, Buluangan, Codcod, Prosperidad, Quezon & Nataban) with each household consuming around 870 liters of water per day. He stressed that roughly 400 households apply for water connection every year. Having said figures, clearly, population growth led to more water demand.

The water crisis experienced in San Carlos City was the least compared to those in the metropolis. Foreseeing this challenge, aside from the Bodiawe Spring, the CWD has already established other water sources: the Agluluod source, Pump 4 (at the back of the city hall), Florentino (Andoon River), Baticulan source, Pump 2 (Caballero Subd.), South Villa Well and the latest, the 5MLD Surface Water Treatment Plant (So. Medina, Brgy. Rizal).

“If only all these water sources operate normally, they could yield a total of 8 million liters of water per day,” remarked Engr. Sanchez.

Climate change also comes as a big factor with long dry spell somewhere and heavy rains in some places, water shortage is like a slow moving disaster now tardily felt by the local residents. Nowadays, climate change and rainfall become nuisance- sending dangerous floods. In San Carlos City, floods usually engulf water sources followed by intense

All’s Well That Ends WellFor a system to be successful, indeed, focus needs to be placed not

just on the infrastructure nor on the operations but on the financial capability as well.

It’s the infrastructure that determines the performance of the overall water system. However, financial requirement is a necessity to have a comprehensive approach since one cannot go on a targeted performance without funds.

The dilemma of residents of San Carlos about the water shortage is through with the blueprint of actual development and implementation of an effective long-term strategy now in place.

Although not yet perfected to its full capacity, since now in place there are still water interruptions every now and then but this water utility

the city.Vice-Mayor Renato Gustilo and PMSD head Leila B. Mansueto thanked everybody behind said project and hoped it would serve more beneficiaries.

development in So. Medina sets the foundation for the sustainability of the infrastructure and operations as well as the strong institution that supports, monitors and regulates performance towards efficiency of the service provided.

Like Engr. Sanchez said, “It is not our business to provide murky water supply but sometimes we face challenges beyond CWD’s control. What happened was a shared responsibility but we accepted all criticisms with an open heart because we understand how consumers feel.”

With the presence of an enhanced facility, the CWD is looking forward to satisfy the customers’ demand. Like what Engr. Sanchez said about shared responsibility, everyone has the obligation to apply water conservation measures and be proactive individuals to avoid potential water crisis at anytime.

The city government and the CWD are now working towards building a solid base to ensure water supply and hopefully become a self-sustaining, water resilient city in the future. After all, water is life and what everyone wants is water for all, 24/7.
