Pursuant to PD No. 198 (as amended), otherwise known as the “Provincial Utilities Act of 1973”, the Sangguniang Bayan of Carmen, Davao del Norte enacted Resolution No. 166-82 on September 16, 1982 for the creation of Carmen Water District (CWD). It covers the entire territorial jurisdiction of the municipality. The conditional certificate of conformance (CCC) no.319 was issued to the Water District on 02 November 1987. District application for a P 9,854 Million financial Assistance was approved by (LWUA) Local Water Utilities Administration on June 24, 1996 with the following breakdown. A. Regular Loan from LWUA - P 7, 289M B. Grant from Congressman Rodolfo P. del Rosario P 2, 565M
Total P 9, 854M

Implementation of the Phase 1 of the project started sometime in 1997 and was operationally January 1998 to present. The Board and Management are now faced off a challenge a challenge to attain the vision of providing the people of Carmen a viable Water Supply System.
Like other cities and municipalities all over Mindanao, it serves a large number of residences and commercial establishments. Customer water and wastewater charges are based on the amount of water consumed. Water meters are also necessary to determine the water loss, rate development and accounting. These also serve as tools for evaluating the efficiency and conservation measures and assist with the identifying leaks, locating pressure problems and identifying peaks and non-peaks water use among residential and commercial consumers. Therefore, it is

    A persistent SDWA issue concerns the ability of public water systems to upgrade or replace infrastructure to comply with federal drinking water regulations and, more broadly, to ensure the provision of a safe and reliable water supply. In 1996, Congress responded about the Act’s unfunded mandates and authorized a drinking water state revolving loan fund program (DWSRF). This program was made to help public water systems finance infrastructure projects needed to meet drinking water standards and to address the most serious health risks. The Act authorizes EPA to award annual capitalization grants to the states. States then use their grants (plus a 20% state match) to provide loans and other assistance to…

    Research conducted for over the past decade has led the parties to believe that the future of the water supply necessitates this movement. As stricter measures are expected for future city water standards, some wells in the area, which cannot accommodate treatment facilities due to space constrictions, have already been closed due to their output quality. Large, but still legally safe, amounts of Boron, calcium, and magnesium and other dissolved minerals in the groundwater effect taste, smell, and water hardness. Salt is added during treatment to improve the water’s aesthetics, (Water Environment Research, p. 347), (www.ehow.com). Recent changes to regulations will require the cities “greatly reduce the total dissolved solids (TDS) of their water supply as a means of meeting future wastewater discharge requirements,” (www.wdcwa.com, p. 6-7). Not only is this method of water treatment hard on the environment, it is not cost effective. Studies have shown that the available water output from local aquifers may be limited and is unlikely to sustain the growing…

    Cochabamba Narrative

    So what preceded all this? In a nutshell, the privatization of water came in the form of Bolivian Law 2029, governing water distribution, especially to rural areas. The law even prohibited the free use of people’s wells in private land and collecting rain water in tanks. President Evo Morales commented on this: “Without light, we can live […] with oil lamps, but without water we cannot live.” It turned out, that the Bolivian government approached IMF (International Monetary Fund) to help the region out with a loan. The IMF would make Cochabamba’s mayor accept a $14 million loan with the condition to privatize their water service. John Briscoe, the World Bank’s senior water official said it bluntly: “[…] getting water to poor communities is not a moral, but a practical question. […] water owned by the public managed by the public hasn’t done us any good in decades.” Subsequently, the Cochabamba government put up a bid to foreign investors. The winner was Bechtel from San Francisco, one of the largest engineering firms in the world with seemingly endless resources and global power. Bechtel formed a subsidiary, Aguas del Tunari, to manage the water supply. Cochabambinos were faced with 200 percent rate hikes, in some cases, $20/month for people whose monthly income didn’t exceed $60.…

    Distribution storage facilities are designed to provide the recommended volume of water to equalize the pumping rate of water supply facilities or booster stations during the projected peak demand event. The volume of water necessary for fire protection needs is also evaluated. The total storage capacity volume may be reduced by a system’s production and supply facilities that have sufficient standby power equipment. This includes wells. Storage facilities need to: Provide operational storage to supply peak hour demands. Provide fire storage and fire flow to meet fire flow requirements. Provide emergency storage. In this analysis the total treated water storage capacity requirements for 2035 is evaluated based on operational storage, fire storage, and emergency storage requirements per the District’s standard operational and performance criteria in Table 10-1 of this plan. These evaluation criteria including the three storage capacity requirements are defined as follows: Maximum day demand is the largest daily water use that occurs over the given year. The 2035 maximum day demand for each pressure zone is based on the analysis in Section 3. A maximum day to average day multiplier is developed in Section 3. Peak hour demand is the peak hour flow that occurs on the maximum day. A peak hour to maximum day multiplier is defined in…

    Over the past decades, the National Water Commission have been providing Jamaicans with water, but , is their service efficient? Water privatization refers to the provision of water service and sanitization by the private sector. More and more countries worldwide have taken the initiative to privatize their water system. Whether or not Jamaica’s water supply should be privatized is an ongoing debate among Jamaicans. Some Jamaicans believe that the water system should not be privatized because the current public water system, the NWC, has as much competence as the privatized system would.
