But West Service Area water supply volatile until October 16 By Mike Baños Editor-at-Large
HERE’s the long and short of the water situation in the Cagayan de Oro City’s West Service Area, Delivery of the contracted bulk water supply by Rio Verde Water Consortium Inc. (RVWCI) to the Cagayan de Oro City Water District (COWD) resumed noon last Saturday, 07 October 2017 with a continuous flow rate of 1,700 cubic meters per hour (cmph), or not less than 40,000 cu.m. per day (m3/ day). However, as earlier discussed during the City
Council Committee on Public Utilities public consultation held last Thursday, 05 October 2017, the COWD already needs at least 60,000 m3/day to normalize water supply and pressure to concessionaires in the West Service Area. But Rio Verde said it will only be ready to deliver the additional volume over the contracted daily volume of 40,000 cu.m. starting Monday, 16 October 2017. Thus, water supply in the affected areas would still continue to be limited for another eight days. Engr. Joffrey E. Hapitan, See resumes, page 11
