EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The year under recovery process that has continued apace highlights the challenges two

years after Typhoon Yolanda left Eastern Visayas a badlands. This is also the time where

evaluation takes place, assessing what worked and did less so and make the efforts

required to further enhance capacity to respond and recover in the future; a time for

shared responsibility in building resilience to the affected community. Thus, the people

behind the Metro Carigara Water District (MCWD) were fueled with optimism and vibrancy

in helping rebuild lives and continue to share in the District’s struggle to a phase of

recovery and rehabilitation efforts after surmounting the challenge of providing safe water

which is every man’s most basic need.

This 2015 Annual Report allows the reader to see and understand the ceaseless efforts

of the MCWD team, spirited to move on with the guiding efforts committed to genuine

public service, highlighting the continuous implementation of various projects, programs

and strategies to ensure that the MCWD stands true to its commitment of providing safe

water supply at all times.

WHAT WE DO?

MANDATE

The Metro Carigara Water District, originally named Carigara Metropolitan Water District,

was created in January 25, 1983, by virtue of the resolutions passed by the respective

municipal councils of the municipalities of Carigara, Barugo, Tunga and Capoocan,

following the enactment of the Presidential Decree 198 (Provincial Water Utilities Act of

1973) in September 1973 by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos to ensure that Filipinos

in the countryside have access to safe and potable water.


3

Pursuant to said mandate the MCWD was thus created for the following purposes laid

down by the law:

Acquiring, installing, improving, maintaining and operating water supply and

distribution systems for domestic, industrial, municipal and agricultural uses for

residents and lands within the boundaries of such districts;

Providing, maintaining and operating wastewater collection, treatment and disposal

facilities; and

Conducting such other functions and operations incidental to water resource

development, utilization and disposal within such districts, as are necessary or

incidental to said purpose. (PD 198, as amended, Chapter II, Sec. 5)

CORE PURPOSE

“QUALITY OF LIFE by way of SAFE, SUFFICIENT and AFFORDABLE WATER for the people

of Metro Carigara.”

CORE VALUES

Public service centered on love of God and country.

Excellence and integrity.

Professionalism and performance.

Stewardship of tomorrow and the environment.


4

CORE STRATEGY

The MCWD aims to achieve its vision, mission and objectives through Total Quality

Management.

CORPORATE OBJECTIVES

Water Security

Water Resiliency

Service Congeniality

Efficient and Effective Resources Management

COMPLIANCE WITH RA 10026

Republic Act No. 10026, also known as, “An Act Granting Income Tax Exemption to Local

Water Districts By Amending Section 27(C) of the National Internal Revenue Code (NIRC)

of 1997, As Amended, and Adding Section 289-A to the Code, for the Purpose,” provides

for exempting local water districts from the payment of corporate income tax as a way

of giving support to their mandate to provide clean and safe water to the provinces. As

such, water districts are expected to comply with the requirements of the law for such

tax exemption by using the amount that would have been paid as income tax for capital

expenditures that are aimed at expanding and improving the quality of water services and

adopting internal control reforms, among others.

After last year’s compliance, the MCWD once again dutifully complies with the mandate

of RA 10026. The year was focused on various projects and programs in the areas of a)

water service improvement, b) NRW Management, c) fiscal discipline and sustainability


5

measures, and d) capacity building. The weakest economic growth brought about by the

enormous destruction due to the super typhoon further did not hinder the district’s

outlook for expansion, which was able to realize the following:

WHAT WE HAVE DONE?

Operational Highlights

ENSURING WATER SAFETY

Water safety is the primary concern of MCWD. To ensure the delivery of safe

drinking water to our concessionaires, regular water quality monitoring is

conducted throughout the year. In 2015, all of the water samples collected around

the service area of the water district have passed the Philippine National Standards

for Drinking Water (PNSDW).

The following tables show the summary of the different water quality tests

conducted for the year 2015.

Water Treatment and Water Quality Testing Activities

Metro Carigara Water District

employs a simple water

treatment process which

involves sedimentation and

chlorination. Raw water from

Maula-og River is drawn from

the impounding dam. Water

is transported from the

impounding dam to the

treatment plant by gravity.

The treatment begins in a small water maze where the initial reduction of silt and

turbidity takes place. Initial disinfection also takes place through a pre-chlorination

treatment which is done at the inlet of the small water maze using dissolved

chlorine granules. The pre-treated water is then sent to the sedimentation basin

where reduction of turbidity takes place as sediments settle at the bottom of the

basin. Lastly, water is

disinfected by injecting

chlorine gas before it

is sent to the

consumers. Chlorine

gas is fed at rates

ranging from 28 to 30

pounds per day and is

strictly monitored

hourly. The chlorine

dosage is regulated to

maintain a chlorine residue concentration of not lesser than 0.3 nor greater than

Chlorine Gas (1 Ton)

Mixing Containers of Chlorine Granules


15

1.5 parts per million (ppm) in any point of the distribution system as required of

the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water (PNSDW).

Another water source is a spring located in Brgy. Daraupay, Capoocan, Leyte. This

water source is enclosed in a spring box and can supply water to the said

barangay. The spring water is disinfected using chlorine granules. Chlorine granules

are dissolved and is introduced to the spring water drop wise. The spring box is

visited and chlorine solution is supplied weekly. The chlorine residue is measured

and the dosage is regulated to meet the PNSDW for chlorine residue.

To monitor the water quality in

the distribution system, the

Production and Water Quality

Division conducts regular water

sampling and testing. Chlorine

residue monitoring is

conducted twice a week. This

is done in selected sampling

points around the four municipalities covered by the MCWD service area. The

permissible limits imposed is 0.3 to 1.5 ppm following the PNSDW requirement.

The results obtained are recorded in a Water Sampling Monitoring Sheet along

with the concessionaire information and details of the test conducted.

On-site Chlorine Residual Test at Santarin Elementary School


16

To monitor the

microbiological quality of

the water, bacteriological

tests are conducted

regularly. Water samples

from different sampling

points in the service area

are collected monthly

and sent to the Leyte

Metropolitan Water

District (LMWD)

Laboratory for

bacteriological test. The number of samples collected and sent for analysis is

based on the number of population served by the water district following the

PNSDW.

Another bacteriological test is conducted by the Production and Water Quality

Division. The presence or absence of the indicator bacteria E. coli in the water is

determined using Primary Health Care Media. This test is conducted weekly and

is properly documented with pictures of the water sampling and results.

Aside from the treated water, the quality of the raw water is also monitored.

Samples from the water source are collected and are sent to LMWD Laboratory

for Physical-Chemical Analysis. This is done twice a year. The sterilized sampling

bottles used for the said tests are obtained from LMWD laboratory.

Regular Flushing and Water Pressure Monitoring

Regular flushing of distribution and transmission pipelines are conducted regularly

to eliminate the sediments present in the pipes that may cause turbidity of the

Samples collected for Primary Health Care Media Test

water. Flushing is conducted at least once a month in each of the municipality

served by the water district. The activity is scheduled to be done at 10 o’clock

in the evening as the consumption is lesser during this time.

Another function of the Production and Water Quality Control Division is the

regular monitoring of the water pressure. This regular activity of the Production

Division is assigned to a Water Utilities Maintenance Man. He is responsible in

the regular controlling of the main gate valve at settling basin. This main valve

controlling has two purposes namely (1) to raise the water level and (2) to control

the water pressure on the main distribution lines that may burst at night. Reducing

main gate valve is usually done in the evening because consumers of the water

district reduces to almost 90%. The main gate valve that is located at our settling

basin compound, is being reduced to a given or specified turns depending on the

water level at exactly 9pm and start opening at 2am until it reaches its full

opening to 24 turns.

TIME WATER LEVEL NO. OF TURNS REDUCED

9 PM 2.79 METERS – BELOW 21 TURNS

9 PM 2.80 METERS – ABOVE 20 TURNS

Regular Cleaning of the Dam and Settling Basin

Cleaning of the dam at Maulaug

River and at settling basin has

been a regular activity of the

water district to ensure safe

drinking water supply. These are

conducted in order to remove the

settled sludge at the bottom of

Scraping sludge at Settling Basin


18

the basin for the past six months’ period.

Cleaning of the settling basin is done twice a year. For 2015, the cleaning of settling

basin was conducted last April 13 to 16 and December 1 to 4. The scheduled cleaning

of the settling basin took a bit longer than in the previous years because the rehabilitation

of the settling basin wall was done simultaneously with the basin cleaning. Retrofitting of

the said settling basin wall was planned in 2014 and implemented in 2015.

On the other hand, cleaning

of the impounding dam is

another main activity of the

Production and Water Quality

Control Division to improve

the intake of water which is

transported through the

transmission pipelines down to

the settling basin. Cleaning of

the dam was conducted by

the MCWD personnel once a

month, to remove fallen tree branches and

other debris. They also remove boulders and aggregates and washed sand that traps the

continuous heavy flow through the intake pipe.

Settling Basin Wall Rehabilitation

Settling Basin Wall Rehabilitation was

initiated simultaneously with the

cleaning of the settling basin. This

Basin Wall Retrofitting is expected to

be finished in 9 years. That’s why, the

district started the first and second

phase of the said project in the year

2015 and two additional phases in

every year to come.

Clearing of Boulders at Maula-og River Dam


19

The estimated approved amount for the

settling basin wall rehabilitation for the two

phases is Six Hundred Sixty Thousand

Pesos (₱660,000.00).

Construction of Warehouse

The multiphase construction project of warehouse was initiated by MCWD in the year

2014. The second 2nd phase of the said project was initiated in 2015 that covers 84.5

square meters (m²) floor area prioritizing the concrete works and roofing system

installation. Concrete works includes 7 columns, beams, rafter, gutter and slab.

The approved total estimated cost for the warehouse project phase 2 in 2015 is Seven

Hundred Thousand Pesos (₱700,000.00). Almost nine percent (9%) of the total estimated

budget was exceeded to initiate the construction to a physical work progress of 100% by

the end of December 2015.

Drainage System Construction

During heavy rainfall, surface runoffs enter the sedimentation basin causing high turbidity.

As a precautionary measure for future similar events, the office had to construct a

drainage system to prevent the over flows of rain water coming from the upper part of

the settling basin

compound to enter the

sedimentation basin.

These drainage system

project is also a multi-

phase project and is

expected to its full

completion by the end

of 2017.

The first phase of the

drainage system project

covers one hundred eighteen linear meters (118 m), while the second phase of the

drainage system covers one hundred linear meters (100 m).

ACCOMPLISHMENT

Drainage system project Phase 1 and 2 was initiated in FY 2015. The estimated total

cost of the said project is One Million and Three Hundred Thousand Pesos


21

(₱1,300,000.00) almost eighty-three percent (83%) of the estimated cost was spent by

the district to initiate the physical work progress of 100% by the end of December 2015.

Construction of Perimeter Fencing of Basin Compound

To maintain the security and safety of the settling basin compound, the Water District

come up to a decision to continue the multiphase perimeter fencing project of the settling

basin. In FY 2015, Phase 4 of the Perimeter fencing project commenced and covers 50

linear meters (50 m).

ACCOMPLISHMENT

Construction of the Perimeter Fence of Settling Basin Compound has a total approved

budget of Two Hundred Thousand Pesos (₱200,000.00). The total expenses incurred for

this project is One Hundred Forty-

Seven Thousand Three Hundred

Ninety Pesos (₱147,390.00). Almost

74% of this total approved budget


22

Construction of the Perimeter Fence of Basin Compound Phase 4 has an approved budget

of Two Hundred Thousand Pesos (₽200,000.00) for the year 2015. Almost seventy-four

percent (74%) of the budget was incurred in order for the project to be realized to 100%

by the end of October 2015.

Retaining Wall / Pipe Encasement Project

One of the major projects of

Metro Carigara Water District

for the CY 2015 is the

encasement of the major

transmission pipelines from

dam to basin. Construction of

Retaining Wall for these

pipelines will protect from

further damages in case of

land slide due to heavy rains

and earthquakes. Last 2014,

Metro Carigara Water District signed a

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

together with the United States Agency

International Development (USAID) to

rehabilitate the typhoon damaged

retaining walls at our Maulaug River Dam.

The said encasement project for the

retaining wall of these transmission

pipelines funded by the USAID started its construction in January 19, 2015 and was

completed last March 18, 2015.

IMPROVEMENT OF WATER FACILITY

Distribution Pipeline Extension – Joson De Mata St., Baybay, Carigara

In continuity to the distribution line laid along Joson

de Mata St. [from Aguja to San Roque Sts.] in 2014,

the water district replaced the 1”Ø G.I. Pipeline

[from Esperanza to San Quintin Sts.] with 3”Ø uPVC,

further extending the line [traversing Joson de

Mata St. Ext.] down to the main line in Real St. this

year.

This 258m pipe extension project is almost 91% in

progress. All pipes are already in place, however, considering the time length of water

interruptions, the interconnection

activity to the main distribution

line and transfer of service taps

will be done on the first periodic

(2016) cleaning of the

Old 1”Ø G.I. Distribution Line replaced with 3”Ø

uPVC as seen on the photos.

sedimentation basin. The district ensures adequate and increased pressure of water will

soon be experienced by more than fifty (50) consumers close to the new line.

Distribution Pipeline Improvement – Brgy. Bislig, Carigara, Leyte

Consequent to the increasing number of water service users in Brgy. Bislig, Carigara,

Leyte, the increasing number of complaints for the insufficient supply of water opted the

district to separate the distribution line supplying water to some water service

concessionaires of Brgy. Tangnan along the barangay road going to Bislig. A 3”Ø uPVC

distribution line [390m] parallel to the existing was laid from the main distribution line

[National Highway] down to the boundary of the two barangays allowing the new to

supply water to Brgy. Bislig exclusively.

Distribution Pipeline Upgrading – Brgy. Minuhang, Barugo, Leyte

Water users of Brgy. Minuhang, Barugo, Leyte have experienced intermittent to no water

supply at all on the last few months of 2014. Aside from the fact that the barangay is

located at the tail-end,

the existing galvanized

iron of 1½” diameter

distribution pipe could

no longer adequately

supply the growing

number of

concessionaires in the

area.

To address this difficulty

in supplying sufficient

water, MCWD upgraded


25

the line into a 3-inch diameter

uPVC. This is approximately half a

kilometer [500m] pipeline that will

deliver the water needs of the

barangay. The project started on

June and completed [100%] before

the end of October 2015.

Distribution Pipeline Upgrading – Brgy. Parena, Carigara, Leyte

Similar to Brgy. Bislig, another barangay

[Brgy. Parena] near Carigara poblacion is

also experiencing water shortage during

peak hours. One of the main reasons is

that some of the water users

of Brgy. Barugohay Norte are

connected to the fore line of

the distribution pipe going to

Brgy. Parena.

New parallel 3”Ø uPVC pipeline [220m] has been laid from the main distribution line [along

Real St.] down to the junction of the two adjoining barangays to separately supply water

to Brgy. Parena. A total amount of ₱83,061.30 is incurred to completely accomplish [100%]

the project by the end of October 2015.

Distribution Pipeline Upgrading – Brgy. Canal-Uyawan, Carigara, Leyte

In year 2015, another one (1) kilometer length of 4”Ø uPVC distribution line was laid in

barangay road joining Brgy. Binongtoan [formerly Brgy. Canal] and Brgy. Uyawan. These

two named barangays undergo similar problems encountered by the barangays situated

at tail-ends. Since the existing 2 ½”Ø G.I. pipeline insufficiently supply water to all service

users in Brgy. Uyawan, the district tapped from the main line [National Highway] another

larger diameter distribution pipe to transport more water to the said barangays.

The upgrading line project amounted to ₱365,920.50 and completed [100%] last December

2015.

27

Distribution Pipeline Upgrading – Brgy. Balilit, Carigara, Leyte

In view of the increasing complaints of water unavailability and excessive leakages in

numerous points at Brgy. Balilit, Carigara, Leyte, MCWD implemented the upgrading of its

distribution line by replacing the existing 2”Ø with 3”Ø uPVC pipeline.

The project is still in progress [60%] because not all pipes are delivered. Some of the

fittings are subject for replacement for they do not meet the specifications required by

the district.

UNDERTAKING CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

The MCWD with its

continuing commitment to

contribute to community

and society at large

participated in activities

involving the public and

other organizations and

government offices. It

spearheaded one of the

major events during the

town fiesta celebration

which was the “Kalsada ni

Gara” Street Decoration

and Festivity Contest with

entries from different

barangays in Carigara.


38

Aside from the town fiesta activities, the district also took part in the anniversary

celebration of Carigara on January 25, 2015 by participating in the civic parade. Similarly,

the MCWD responded to the invitation from the local government unit, it actively joined

the celebration of Carigara’s 419th Town Fiesta in honor of the Holy Cross on July 16,

2015. Among the activities participated in were: Grand Fiesta Parade, LGU and NGA Night

and Search for King and Queen 2015.

The district, in its utmost concern to the consuming public especially on occasions when

water is of great demand provided a free drinking water stationed in different cemeteries

within its coverage areas of Carigara, Barugo and Tunga during the All Soul’s Day. The

Capoocan cemetery is somehow located at a far flung area such that it has no direct

access to the district’s distribution system.


39

Environmental protection is also one of the main pillars of MCWD’s corporate philosophy

especially with water, being its main product has assumed principal responsibility to

protect the environment and conserve natural resources. Among its activities were the

tree planting and awareness drive to

the students from different schools

within the four service coverage

areas. Through these efforts the

district can truly share the precious

gift of nature it can save to the next

generations.

Tree Planting held during the WWD 2015, together with guests

from Medicos del Mundo, Bigonia Ruiz & Marco Velasco, and

students from secondary schools within Metro Carigara.
