Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia announced that the minimum rate for residential consumers of the bulk water supply project in Moalboal is P115 per month for those who consume 10 cubic meters or less, while commercial and industrial consumers will be charged a minimum of P230 per month.
Gov. Garcia also said that she will ask the Provincial Board to come up with a resolution directing the Moalboal LGU not to renew the mayor’s permits of commercial establishments if they refuse to connect with the Capitol bulk water supply project.
Gov. Garcia reasoned that under the present setup, where commercial establishments pay at least P250 per cubic meter, some resorts pass on the charge to tourists, forcing some to avoid staying in Moalboal resorts, a practice that has a negative impact in the local tourism industry.
“Gibuhat namo ang tanan pagtubag sa among tulomanon. Inyo sab tubagon ang inyong tulomanon kay aron ang dugay na ninyo gitinguha ug gidamgo, baynte-kwatro oras, pito ka adlaw sa usa ka semana, way hunong, way pahinay-hinay, naa na gyoy tubig matag panimalay,” Gov. Garcia said.
The general assembly was attended by residents of Barangays Bugho, Lanao, Bala, Pob. West, Pob. East, Tuble, Basdiot, Saavedra and Tunga. However, Gov. Gwen promised that the six other upland barangays will soon be connected with the P300-million project, one of 25 the Capitol is planning to put up.
On the other hand, Mayor Inocentes G. Cabaron thanked the governor for the bulk water supply project as it is an answer to a decades-long problem of the municipality.
